Nutrition and Dietetics
at University of Winchester
Would you like to influence food and health policy across the spectrum, from government to local communities and individuals? By training to be a registered dietitian, you will be able to apply the nutritional care process from developing a nutritional diagnosis to managing a wide range of nutrition-related healthcare problems found in today’s society.
Course Overview
Dietitians use public health and scientific research on food, health and disease which they translate into practical guidance to enable people to make appropriate lifestyle and food choices.
This interdisciplinary course combines the study of nutrition science with dietetic practice. Alongside the scientific topics of nutritional biochemistry and physiology, you will also study communication skills, behavioural change techniques, research methods and ethics.
Time will be given for practical workshops in which you will have experience in analysing diets using specialist software, and obtain practice in analysing and diagnosing nutritional problems and developing nutritional care plans. Some work will be undertaken in our biochemistry laboratory.
During the three-year programme you undertake professional placements throughout the course within a variety of healthcare and commercial settings. This will give you the opportunity to develop your clinical skills alongside industry partners, charities and other healthcare professionals, such as nurses, physiotherapists and sport scientists.
As part of the University of Winchester’s growing portfolio of health-related programmes, you will benefit from strong relationships with those teaching and studying nursing, physiotherapy and sports-related degrees.
