Dietitians are the only qualified health professionals that assess, diagnose, and treat diet and nutrition problems. They translate the latest nutrition science into understandable, practical information about food. They provide education and support to enable people to manage their health and treat nutrition-related diseases.

All applicants of this Dietetics and Human Nutrition (Hons) at Coventry University will be required to attend an interview. In line with the National Health Service Constitution, we use a values-based recruitment approach in seeking candidates with the appropriate values to support an effective team working in delivering excellent patient care. All offers are subject to satisfactory occupational health clearance, a criminal record check via Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) or equivalent for non-UK residents and a successful interview. For international students, if you are offered a place, the International Office will send you instructions about how to complete your DBS check, including a link to the UK Home office DBS website.
