Dietitians are uniquely qualified to translate scientific information about food into practical dietary advice to promote health in the population. At Ulster, we deliver an engaging course that will prepare you well for a successful career in dietetics.

Teaching on the course is mainly delivered by academic staff from the world-renowned Nutrition Innovation Centre for Food and Health (NICHE), a large research centre within the School of Biomedical Sciences.

We engage with a large number of local and international stakeholders including colleagues from the NHS, Academia and Industry as well as the general public and use this alongside our research to deliver a high quality degree. As well as providing impartial advice about nutrition and health, dietitians are involved in the prevention and treatment of nutrition-related problems and in the dietary treatment of disease.
