Program overview
A four year route opening with a foundation year, covering science and study fundamentals before three years of nutrition and food management at degree level.
Nutrition rests on biochemistry and physiology, so the foundation year builds scientific grounding the degree assumes from its opening term.
Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Nutrition and Food Management with Foundation Year is taught at the University of West London, a UK university with degree awarding powers. Because the nutrition foundation route is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after the nutrition foundation route ends, or three years for a doctorate. To claim it after the nutrition foundation route you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. One limit applies to the nutrition foundation route as to every taught course in Britain: the rules introduced in January 2024 stop taught students bringing a spouse or children as dependants, so the nutrition foundation route cannot support a family move.
Entry to Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Nutrition and Food Management with Foundation Year is Class 12 or equivalent at 50 percent or above. The English requirement is IELTS 5.5 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the nutrition foundation route is recorded at GBP 16,750 a year. UWL charges no application fee, so applying for the nutrition foundation route costs you nothing, and no scholarship is recorded against it. the nutrition foundation route lists four entry windows a cycle. Apply Study Visa manages the the nutrition foundation route 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: Class 12 or equivalent at the percentage stated for this course.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 5.5 overall with no band below 5.5; TOEFL iBT 72 with reading 17, writing 18, speaking 20 and listening 17; PTE Academic 51 with no component below 51; or the Duolingo English Test at 100.
- Application and deposit: UWL 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 course. Budget the full tuition.
- Additional requirement: This is not a dietetics qualification. Dietitian is a protected title in the UK requiring separate approved training and statutory registration.
- Graduate Route: the nutrition foundation route is a degree, so it supports a UK Graduate Route application giving two years of unsponsored work after you finish. You must apply from inside the UK on a valid student visa. Students on taught courses cannot bring a spouse or children as dependants under the January 2024 rules.
- Student visa: Apply Study Visa prepares the CAS request, the financial evidence and the UK student visa submission with you.
