Looking for nutrition/dietetic courses

1

I am aware that most dietetic course in university require chem,bio or another a level science. Im struggling to find a course in that field that doesn’t need a science A level but also doesn’t require a foundation year if possible.

Im in year 13 and take:
food and nutrition : AS results: C but i can push it to an A this year
Health and social care: AS results: B
Welsh baccalaureate: AS results: A

And my GCSES are all just 5D’s, 5C’s with one A in food technology.
Predicted grades:AAB

Any help or advice would be amazing thanks!!!

Science A levels are required for dietetics as it is a science-based degree. If you haven't taken any sciences at A levels because they weren't your strong subjects, then I would question if dietetics is the right degree choice for you. You might struggle to do well in the degree.

Try searching the UCAS website for nutrition courses instead. Oxford Brookes, for example, accepts Food Science as a science A level. If you are unsure if your qualifications meet the requirements, call/email admissions at each uni and ask.
