Admission Requirements
Teesside University's MSc Dietetics course is a pre-registration programme. Upon successful completion, you will be eligible to apply for registration with the HCPC.
If you are currently working as a dietitian in another country, you may also be eligible to apply for HCPC registration without completing any study, depending on your qualifications and experience. This registration would allow you to apply for health-related job roles in the UK. We recommend reviewing the eligibility criteria to ensure you meet the requirements here.
You apply direct to the University. Our minimum academic requirement is a 2.2 honours degree (or above) in a subject with an acceptable level of human sciences, usually including biochemistry and human physiology. If your honours degree does not contain sufficient human sciences, our Cert HE Health Sciences course can support you to gain core human sciences ahead of applying.
If English isn’t your first language, we require evidence of IELTS Level 7 (or equivalent). No element should be below 6.5.
Shortlisted applicants are invited to attend an interview at the University. An enhanced criminal history (DBS) check may be required for certain modules or placements which involve working with children and/or adults at risk. Where an enhanced DBS check is required, applicants will cover the cost of these checks which can only be processed through the University.
