I think pretty much everyone at my college found it hard so I'm guessing it will be the same all over the country which hopefully means low grade boundaries! Pretty sure I got like a U :/

Yeah my class said they all found it hard too so hopefully grade boundaries will be low. A lot of people on another forum on here said they found the same.. someone made this video :') https://youtu.be/BhW6j26dlXc

Hi guys,
I am intending to apply to dietetics next year, but have a Canadian qualification instead. I'm actually currently studying Nutrition in Austria, but will have trouble with the credit transfer later on, so I thought that applying for a bachelor's degree would increase my chances. According to the King's Website, my 85% average with all sciences included with As are equivalent to an AAB/ABB in A levels. I'm mostly really worried that most universities won't accept my qualification and will penalise me for having already started uni. I've applied for a shadowing program and have numerous voluntary experiences though. I'm also a little worried that being an EU citizen, it would be more difficult to get into rather than the UK due to the NHS funding.

Any opinions on this? Will be grateful for any replies. Thanks!

Hi I'm a current student at UCLan and we accept all foreign qualifications. Here is a link to the course that we offer:

Hello

There have been boys at Dietetics interview that I've been to, I would say that Dietetics tends to be a more female dominated subject though as in general there are more girls than boys on the course. However, if you want to become a Dietitian then just go for it, please don't be put off because there are less boys in the field than there are girls.

This probably doesn't help your cause, but I think it varies from uni to uni. Nottingham told me there were always possibilities, whereas I got the impression from some others that there was no flexibility. I think some courses oversubscribe and thus rarely go into clearing.

Hi there, UCLan offers plenty of spaces via clearing so it's worth checking that out if you don't receive the grades you expected. You can contact them on results day on 01772 830 777.
