University Foundation - MDiet: Master of Dietetics

The Master of Dietetics course has been developed in response to current policy and social directives, identified organizational challenges of employers across the public, private and third sectors, and in recognition of graduate needs in meeting workplace demands. By completing this course, you will possess knowledge, skills, and competencies beyond those normally expected at the threshold of registered practice, and you can demonstrate to potential employers that you have the ability to positively influence strategic professional practice and support government policy and work to standards of accredited bodies, which is integral to the professional philosophy of the course. Is Dietetics a good career choice? Most of our graduates are focused on how to become a dietitian and begin their careers as Dietitians in the NHS. However, there are also many opportunities within the private sector for those with a dietetics degree.
