Program overview
A three year honours degree in nutritional science, covering human physiology and metabolism, public health nutrition, dietary assessment, research methods and a final project.
Human Nutrition asks IELTS 6.5 rather than the standard 6.0, and the route to registered practice is separate from the degree itself.
Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Human Nutrition is taught at Bath Spa University, a public university in England with full degree awarding powers. Because the human nutrition degree is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the human nutrition degree, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the human nutrition degree plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the human nutrition degree does not support a family move.
Entry to Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Human Nutrition is a recognised post-secondary certificate or equivalent at 50 percent or above. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0, and tuition for the human nutrition degree is recorded at GBP 18,585. Bath Spa charges no application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the human nutrition degree. The human nutrition degree lists three entry windows, one September start in each of three consecutive years. Apply Study Visa manages your the human nutrition degree application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: A recognised post-secondary certificate, Class 12 or equivalent, at the percentage stated.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0; TOEFL iBT 75; PTE Academic 65 with no component below 55; or the Duolingo English Test at 120.
- Application and deposit: Bath Spa charges NO application fee, so applying costs you nothing. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
- Scholarship: No scholarship is recorded against this programme. Budget the full tuition.
- Additional requirement: Dietitian is a protected title in the UK requiring an accredited degree and Health and Care Professions Council registration. Nutritionist roles may require registration with a voluntary register such as the UKVRN.
- Work rights: the human nutrition degree is a degree, so it supports a UK Graduate Route application giving two years of unsponsored work after you finish. No dependant may accompany you on a taught course.
- Student visa: Apply Study Visa prepares the CAS request, the financial evidence and the UK student visa submission with you.
