Student review [#56057] for Dietetics
at University of Surrey

Embarking on a journey to pursue a career as a dietitian is both exciting as well as challenging. As a first-year student studying a BSc in Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of Surrey, I’ve had the opportunity to immerse myself in this dynamic field. One of the most appealing aspects of studying at the University of Surrey is the well-rounded curriculum which has allowed me to dive into diverse concepts both practically and theoretically. This programme covers a wide range of subjects, including biochemistry, food science, physiology, and public health. Alongside the courseworks the programme highlights the emphasis on clinical placements as well as research opportunities. As a student, I have had the chance to collaborate with renowned faculty members in cutting-edge research projects and immersing myself into practical experiences which allow me to expose myself to real-world scenarios and hence develop my professional skill set. Undeniably, studying Nutrition and Dietetics requires great dedication and commitment to cope with the demanding and substantial workload. Even though the comprehensive curriculum may be an advantage, it limits flexibility to chose elective courses. Taking into consideration my experiences so far, I would wholeheartedly reach this programme to any future students who are passionate about the field and are willing to take up a challenge and be prepared for a rigorous academic journey to pursue their dream career. Despite the challenges, the programme’s robust curriculum, research and clinical placement opportunities make it an excellent choice for dedicated students seeking a career in Dietetics.
