Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Dietetics (B403)

In this undergraduate course, students will learn the skills necessary to become a dietitian – the only qualified health professional that can assess, diagnose and treat diet and nutrition related problems at an individual and wider public health level. Throughout the studies, students will gain an understanding of the conditions where nutrition plays a significant role in disease management. Students will develop the knowledge to provide nutrition and dietetic care for individuals, groups and populations who have or already are at risk of developing long-term health conditions. Students will get hands-on experience through three full-time work placements during the course. There's a two-week placement in Year 1, a 12-week placement in Year 2 and a 14-week placement in Year 3 that normally includes a public health nutrition component. Their work will primarily be in National Health Service (NHS) organisations in London and their performance will be assessed as part of the degree. An International Bright Futures Scholarship in the amount of £3,000 will automatically be applied to eligible students with overseas fee status starting a degree with London Met in the 2024/25 academic year. This scholarship includes a tuition fee reduction for the duration of students' studies and is applicable to both undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Tuition Deposit is £4,000 for all students excluding those from Punjab and Haryana for whom the deposit amount will remain at 50%
