Healthcare science (physiological sciences) or dietetics

Hi, so I’ve applied for healthcare science (physiological sciences) and been offered a place at both man met and leeds. At man met i would specialise in respiratory and sleep physiology and at leeds cardiac physiology. I love biology, and have a B in psychology and an E in chemistry and am resitting biology to get a B/A and a distinction in applied law. However i’m really interested in dietetics, being a dietitian really appeals to me maybe more so than becoming a physiologist but the salary considering that in 2024, it will require a masters puts me off and i’m worried that there will be too much chemistry involved. Also the only university near me that allows me to do dietetics without chemistry is chester university which limits my options.
