  This is a four-year programme leading to both a degree in Nutrition & Dietetics and Registration in Dietetics (RD).

Students undertake three clinical practical placements (one of four weeks' and two of twelve weeks' duration) spread throughout the degree programme. Students on programmes leading to Registration in Dietetics generally do not pay tuition fees and can apply for National Health Service bursaries.
