Dietetics - PgD
The PG Diploma in Dietetics degree is approved by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and is accredited by the British Dietetic Association. It enables graduates with nutrition in the title of their degree to study dietetics so that they can apply to the HCPC to register as a Dietitian with the Postgraduate Diploma.
The Postgraduate Diploma program is closely aligned to the BSc (Hons) Human Nutrition and Dietetics program and contains three compulsory placements in NHS Dietetics Departments in Wales.
Students exiting with the Postgraduate Diploma can return to undertake the dissertation within 5 years of starting the PG Diploma. The MSc Dietetics is undertaken in one academic year. Most students undertake the MSc Dietetics while working within the NHS.
