Program overview
A three year honours degree in dietetics, covering clinical nutrition and therapeutic diet, nutritional assessment, food service management and extensive supervised clinical placement.
London Met lists this separately from its Dietetics and Nutrition degree at the same fee and English bar, so confirm which course your offer names.
Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Dietetics is taught at the University of London Met, a public university in England with full degree awarding powers. Because the dietetics 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 dietetics degree, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the dietetics degree plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the dietetics degree does not support a family move.
The academic bar for Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Dietetics is a recognised Grade 12 or equivalent school qualification with 60 percent. The English requirement is IELTS Academic 7.0 overall with no band below 6.5, and tuition for the dietetics degree is recorded at GBP 21,000. London Met charges no application fee, and London Met charges no application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the dietetics degree . The dietetics degree lists two entry windows, the earliest in 2027. Apply Study Visa manages your the dietetics 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: Grade 12 or equivalent at the percentage stated for this course.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 7.0 overall with no band below 6.5; TOEFL iBT 72 with reading 24, writing 24, speaking 25 and listening 22; PTE Academic 70. The Duolingo English Test is NOT accepted on this course.
- Application and deposit: London Met charges NO application fee, so applying costs you nothing. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
- Scholarship: London Met applies an India Bright Futures Scholarship worth GBP 5,000 to eligible Indian students automatically, with no separate application form. You apply for the course as normal and the award appears on your offer if you qualify. Confirm the figure on that offer rather than assuming it, and check the eligibility conditions for your intake before budgeting around it.
- Additional requirement: Dietitian is a protected title requiring HCPC registration through an APPROVED programme. London Met lists two similar dietetics degrees; confirm which you are applying to. An enhanced DBS check, occupational health clearance and immunisation records are required before placement, and these take longer to arrange from overseas than most applicants expect. London living costs and the UKVI maintenance requirement are both higher than for study elsewhere in Britain. Budget for the London figure rather than the national one.
- Work rights: the dietetics 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.
