About the programme
In the Nutrition and Dietetics (pre-registration) programme of the University of Hull you’ll gain an understanding of the science and composition of food and how nutrition and diet therapy can be used to prevent and treat chronic and acute diseases that can affect people throughout their lifespan.
Through practice-based learning, you’ll work with service users to develop your newly acquired knowledge, skills and professional behaviours alongside practicing dietitians in a range of different settings, from local NHS trusts to personal trainers running their own businesses.
If you want to be a dietitian and ordinarily resident in the UK, you can apply for a grant of £5,000 per year to study this course. This doesn’t need to be paid back.
This course is undergoing accreditation by the British Dietetic Association (BDA).
