Hello
I have an undergraduate degree and a masters by research, both in nutrition. I would love to study dietetics and have been looking at a 2 year dietetics postgraduate degree. I think that this is an exceptions course and just want to check if I would be eligible for student finance, even though I have already had finance for my first 2 degrees.
Thanks

The course attracts undergraduate funding.
You can only be funded if you are not already registered in this field. As you have already had a degree in Nutrition and are registered in this field, I do not think you will be eligible - however you can apply and our assessors will make a decision.

Thank you. How do you define registered in the field? I do not work in nutrition, I work in an unrelated job in sexual health. Does registered mean you have studied before?

If they applied for a masters in Adult Nursing they will be ineligible.
In your case you are pre registered as you already studied Nutrition and gained the qualification.

For example if a student studied a Bsc Adult Nursing course and gain the qualification - the student is then pre registered in Adult Nursing. If they then decide to study a masters course in Midwifery, the student is pre-registered in Adult Nursing but not in the subject of study so will be eligible.
If they applied for a masters in Adult Nursing they will be ineligible.
In your case you are pre registered as you already studied Nutrition and gained the qualification.

Thank you for your reply. I read that and understood that for example if someone with a degree in adult nursing then went on to study mental health nursing then they would receive funding as it is a different area of nursing.
With my previous nutrition degree I am able to work as a nutritionist, however I am not able to work as a dietician without a dietetics degree. So although they are the same field they are different degrees like adult nursing/mental health nursing. Would I qualify on this basis and is it a case of applying to student finance and appealing on this basis if the application is rejected?
When can I apply to student finance for 2022 funding?
Thank you so much for replying, I appreciate your time.

You will be able to apply on the 01/03/2021 for the undergraduate funding.
I advise you to apply as soon as you can and you should have a decision from the assessors rather quickly.
Thanks, Isaac

You're welcome Ella. From my understanding I think you won't be eligible.

Thank you, I understand what you are saying and can only apply and hope for the best. Fees for MSc dietetics are £16k per year, does this mean if I would somehow get funding that would be up to £9250 and then the rest is self funded?

Hi i am in a similar situation and studied BSc food science and nutrition and MSc clinical and public health nutrition - does this mean I can't access the 5000 nhs bursary as the additional masters I want to study is nutrition and dietetics even though this will qualify me as a dietitian but my other degrees haven't?
