Nutrition & Dietetics - King's VS Surrey

Hi, I will be applying for undergraduates studies in nutrition and dietetics but I haven't decided on King's or surrey. According to the league tables, surrey is no.1 for food science whereas King's is 4th. But reputation wise King's is better vs surrey whose student satisfaction tops. I just need some opinions from those who've studied the said course at either unis. Thanks!

Reputation and stats don't really matter. Have you visited? Which course is more interesting to you?

Kings is more rigorously scientific, so if you're interested in the science behind nutrition and dietetics it might suit you better.

Thanks for your reply! Sry I forgot to mention I'm an international student. I've looked at the course modules and both unis are more or less the same except for surrey which has an entire year for placement. Surrey seems to be the one for me and the uni is doing really well. I'm just wondering regarding the cost of living in London, if King's would be worth it more than surrey.

A placement year would make the difference for me. Living costs can be found on the website. It's up to you to work out what is more important and feasible for you.
