    Hi. i'm pleased that you are considering a degree in dietetics. Probably the most important thing you can do to start, is remember that British dietitians have 2 ts and american dieticians have 1 t!

    Try the british dietetic assocation for more information. London colleges (i.e King's and london met) hold open days in place of asking sudents to have spent time in a dietetic department.

    A level Chemistry is a must. Choose your course wisely and aim for the more academic courses if you can.
    Good luck.
