Entry requirements
• Candidates should normally have a first degree, BSc (Hons) at 2.1 or above or European first cycle equivalent in dietetics. • You should have experience of professional practice in paediatric dietetics. • Note that successful completion of this pathway does not lead to eligibility to apply for registration as a dietician with the Health and Social Care Professions Council. • Unfortunately, we are unable to accept applications from overseas students for this programme as it does not comply with the current Student (formerly Tier 4) visa requirements. You will be assessed individually for your ability to study at this level and therefore an interview may be necessary. You will normally be required to submit a short piece of writing as part of the admissions process.
