What you will study\
On our Nutrition and Dietetics BSc, you’ll learn how food intake and dietary requirements can be altered by illness and how to translate nutritional science and information about food into practical dietary advice. This advice can be aimed at the general public to promote health or in a clinical environment to treat a wide range of medical disorders.
In your first two years, you’ll study a variety of topics, ensuring you have a solid foundation upon which to build the rest of your degree. At the end of your first year, you’ll complete your first NHS clinical placement.
In your third year, you’ll complete another two placements, each lasting up to 12 weeks.
In your fourth year, you’ll have the choice to specialise further in an area of personal interest and you’ll also complete a research project, bringing together all the practical, analytical and presentation skills you’ve developed.
