Dietetics

Hi does dietetics come up offer in clearing? I think my sister is too late to apply through the normal route she has ccc in biology, chemistry and psychology. Not sure if she’s get into a course with these grades so thought I’d ask on here. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hi, every dietetics course is very highly competitive and requires an interview before you get offered a place, so it does not come up in clearing, as if spaces did come available those on the waiting list after having an interview would then be offered places instead. With her current grades aswell it would be unlikely through the traditional route she would be offered a place with her grades being CCC.

Your sister has two options: 1) Resit her A-levels and apply through traditional means to do Dietetics next year

or option no.2 which is what I recommend

2) Your sisters best bet is to go through clearing/apply now if she has time to an undergraduate course in Nutrition and then apply to become a Dietitian in her final year of university. Universities such as Leeds Beckett, London Metropolitan and many other unis would probably have spaces for her to undergo this degree, either through clearing or through traditional means.

Nutrition 3 years UG and 2 year MSc post grad in Dietetics, and you can become a dietitian by the end of it. This would only be one year longer than resitting your A-levels and you get a Master's Degree out of it.

Any other questions let me know.

That’s so helpful thank you!

hey, i know that surrey offer foundation course for CCC, if its a contextual, its CCD as this is what I got. I firmed for the normal dietetics and nutritioon course this year.
I am just not sure if it comes up in clearing as there is a need for interveiws too but if she didn't want to resit, this is an option xx

Dietetics does come up in Clearing! I went back and forth about studying Nutrition or Dietetics, firmed a place for Nutrition, realised that I didn't want to do that course anymore and applied for Dietetics in Clearing. I had an interview a few days later and got offered a place during my interview. I am now studying Dietetics and will be going into second year this September. Your sister may be offered a place depending on the university. I know some unis are more lenient with their entry requirements during Clearing. Good luck to her!

How was your course in your first year? I’m about to start in Nov

It was pretty intense but very interesting! Glad I decided to go for Dietetics instead of Nutrition. Congratulations and good luck with it all. How are you feeling about starting?

Hi, just wondering if you can remember what unis came up in clearing for dietetics?? I got rejected after my leeds beckett dietetics interview but they offered me an alternative nutrition course which I am not interested in and I was really hoping to attend in 2024 so was maybe looking to reapply through clearing this summer
