Dietetics or Nutritionist?

I'm thinking about doing dietetics or nutrition at uni, and i'm going to 6th form after summer. But i dont know which one to do, which is more recognised, better pay and stuff..
Is anyone at uni now doing any courses like these sujects and what does it invlove; like sudies, resarch, grade requirements, placements etc.
Thanks in advance! :smile:

Do dietitcs if you want a more serious degree, this will give you more credibilty to work in different sectors.

I started a Dietetics degree but had to change to Nutrition in 4th year after failing a module. I now have a useless Nutrition degree that I can't use (but tbf I don't want to!). Definitely do Dietetics.
