Independent study is a crucial part of learning at university and you will be required to undertake many hours of self-directed research and reading, and preparation and writing of assessments. Your course is delivered through a number of modules, which will help you to plan your time and establish a study routine. Outside of your lectures, workshops and tutorials, a range of support is available to assist with your independent study. Our subject-specific librarians will be on hand to direct you to the specialist learning and study-skill resources. You’ll also be assigned an academic advisor to give you tailored feedback and support.

This course is highly vocational and will give you the expertise to work as a dietitian. Professional development modules will refine your employability and will give you a number of transferable skills. Excellent career options will be available to you - around 70 per cent of our recent graduates started their professional careers working for the NHS, while the remainder secured nutrition-related roles or entered further education within six months of graduation. You could also use your expertise to work in the media, within the food industry or in education.
