MSc Nutrition and Dietetics (pre-registration)

University of HullCottingham Road, Hull, HU6 7RX

Course overview

Dietitians are experts in nutrition who can assess, diagnose and treat dietary and nutrition-related problems. Practice-based learning is an essential part of our course and you’ll spend 27 weeks, over the two-year programme, working hands-on with service users to develop up-to-date skills and professional behaviours in a range of different settings within the Humber and North Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership. Our diverse range of practice placements offer experience across the four pillars of dietetic practice.

These include everything from NHS Trusts across the region, dietitians who have established their own dietetic practices, research, industry and leadership roles, charities as well as digital and remote dietetic practice. Many of our local NHS trusts even offer further financial and training incentives to train dietitians. Further extra-curricular opportunities are available within the city’s sporting sector courtesy of our well-established links with professional clubs such as Hull FC, Hull Kingston Rovers and Hull City.

Plus, you’ll complete this programme with your own research project, giving you the opportunity to apply to be published in a scientific journal and broaden the nutrition evidence base further. This lays the foundation for your future career.
