Notes
Nottingham's 2027-entry offer for the integrated master's is AAB, A*BB or A*AC.

This is the typical offer, which is the level the university publishes as its normal requirement — not a guaranteed threshold and not a maximum. Offers move with demand, and a strong application with relevant care experience is treated differently from a bare set of grades. Almost every provider also requires an enhanced criminal-records check and occupational health clearance before you can go on placement, and many interview.

Outcomes

Where the national surveys publish figures for this course, they appear here. Small cohorts are routinely suppressed in the official releases, which is why a tile can read "not published" for a course that is running perfectly well.

Not published Median earnings, 5 years on No LEO earnings figure published for this course

Outcome figures are worth less on this kind of course than on most. Pre-registration programmes feed a regulated profession with a national pay scale, so a graduate from any approved course starts on the same band as a graduate from any other. Earnings differences between providers mostly reflect where graduates end up living and whether they take NHS or private work, not the quality of the teaching. As a reference point, a newly qualified dietitian in England starts on NHS band 5, which begins at £32,073 in 2026/27. See the full pay picture.

Paying for it

Full-time pre-registration study in England is normally funded through a tuition fee loan and a maintenance loan from the student finance body for the nation you study in, topped up by whatever health-specific support that nation runs. Allied health students are treated more generously than most because placements make part-time work hard to sustain.

The dataset does not carry a Learning Support Fund flag for this individual course, but dietitian is recorded as an eligible subject and the fund covers pre-registration courses in England. Confirm your own eligibility with NHS BSA before you count on it.

All funding and bursaries · rules change every academic year, so check the current terms before you apply.

How this course compares

There are 56 other approved dietitian courses in the UK, 43 of them in England. Because every one of them leads to the same registration, the differences that actually matter are practical: how long the course runs, whether the award is a bachelor's or a master's, where the placements are and what the university asks for at entry.
