Dietetics Msc

Hey,
So i’m currently in my third year studying Bsc Human Physiology and have been considering my next steps. I am really interested in applying for the Dietetics masters after a gap year. I know quite a bit about the role as I have some family who are dietetic assistants and have done some research into the role. I am wondering more about the intensity of the masters itself, like would it be possible to have a part time job alongside the course ( say 8-12 hours a week ) and if you get any holidays in the masters and how term time works.
If anyone has any insight on this that would be great!

Hey!

What Uni are you interested in?

I'm doing my masters in Sport Nutrition at LJMU and I currently don't work a tonne of hours as I do find its quite hard to manage your work/life balance, but there are some people in my masters course who do work so its definitely possible!

I would say no more than 8 hours though, I'm unsure as to how a dietetics masters would be ran but we have lectures on Mondays and Tuesdays only then have a lot of independent learning to do including readings, assignments and placements and thesis labs.

I would assume you would have to do a placement as part of your masters which would also take some hours up each week, just keep that in mind.

To end, I think 8 is definitely doable but you don't want to work too much that it interferes not only with uni work but any placements/internships that you were doing or were interested in, if that makes sense?

Best regards,
