About the course and its strategy towards teaching and learning and towards blended learning/e-learning

The teaching and learning strategies applied in BSc (Hons) Dietetics and Nutrition aim to stimulate the learner’s interest in and develop skills and knowledge in dietetics and nutrition, providing intellectual challenge at BSc level with the overall aim of meeting the requirements of the BDA Curriculum Framework, The Health and Care Professions Council Standards of Education and Training and to ensure that learners are fully prepared for practice based learning experiences and future employment.

Our Education for Social Justice Framework is embedded within our inclusive curriculum to eliminate the wicked problem of differential outcomes between student groups and align with the principles of equity. Our values based approach addresses the challenges faced by our students in London, supporting them to succeed through equipping them with the skills and abilities to fight health inequalities faced by the diverse populations they will go onto serve.

The lecture programme provides the underpinning theoretical foundation in the subject area. Thinking skills are developed through complementary activities including practical classes, case studies, workshops, seminars, tutorials, assignments and practice-based learning. Kitchen, clinical, laboratory and nutrition practical sessions are carried out in the Science Centre utilising the Nutrition Clinic, Simulated Ward, the Nutritional Physiology Lab, the Super lab and the Food Technology Lab. Learners are allocated practice based learnings which are carried out through a combination of simulated learning and placements normally with NHS organisations within the M25 area, north of the river Thames.

The teaching team comprises university staff as well as experts from the dietetic profession and elsewhere. Learners are expected to complement formal teaching with self-directed reading and completion of specified assignments.

Learners are encouraged to use all open spaces of study available to them within North campus.
The course will also promote the learner’s self-management as well as a reflective approach to their learning with a view to future continued professional development. Teaching and learning is integrated with the assessment within the University’s learning and teaching strategy. Delivery is through a combination of lectures, blended learning, practical sessions, seminars, tutorials, case studies and workshops allowing learners to be actively involved in the learning process and develop their own learning style.

Learners will be encouraged to engage meaningfully with personal development planning (PDP) through the curriculum, to enable them to reflect on, plan and review their own personal, professional and academic skills. The PDP will enable learners to develop well supported claims to achievements and be able to articulate these to others. The University will enable learners to recognise and record their achievements.

Learners are expected to complement formal teaching with self-directed reading. Learners will also be given opportunities to identify and use appropriate resources and technology available both within and outside the institution (e.g. nutritional databases, nutrition-specific software, internet applications). The teaching and learning strategies applied in BSc (Hons) Dietetics & Nutrition aim to stimulate the learner’s interest in and skills and knowledge in dietetics and nutrition, providing intellectual challenge at BSc level with the overall aim of meeting the requirements of the British Dietetic Association (BDA) Curriculum Framework, the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) Standards of Education and Training and to ensure that learners are fully prepared for practice-based learning experiences and future employment.

Learners will be encouraged to engage meaningfully with personal development planning (PDP) through the curriculum, to enable them to reflect on, plan and review their own personal, professional and academic skills. The PDP will enable learners to recognise and record their achievements and thus develop well supported claims to achievements which can be articulated to others and the University.

Course aims

The aims of this course are aligned with the qualification descriptors within the Quality Assurance Agency’s Framework for Higher Education Qualifications and they aim to provide a sound scientific base in all those subjects necessary for the understanding of Dietetics and Nutrition.
Specifically the course will provide a sound scientific base in all those subjects necessary for a systematic understanding of the key aspects related to human nutrition and dietetics. The learners’ ability to assemble established techniques of analysis and enquiry within dietetics will be developed. Additionally learners will develop a conceptual understanding of dietetics and nutrition to enable problem solving and learners will be able to devise and sustain arguments using ideas and techniques which are established and those which are at the forefront of dietetics.

Learners will develop the skills, knowledge and professional practice required to demonstrate the standards of proficiency for dietitians and to promote a reflective approach to practice. In addition successful completion of the course will allow learners to meet the graduate capabilities stipulated within the BDA curriculum framework.
The course will also prepare learners to become effective, self-directed learners and practitioners in all fields of dietetic practice. This will enable learners to develop the ability to manage their own learning. Learners will develop an appreciation of the expanding role of the dietitian both inside and outside of the National Health Service (NHS).

The course will also provide learners with the qualities and transferable skills necessary for employment requiring the exercise of personal responsibility; decision making in complex and unpredictable contexts; and the learning ability needed to undertake appropriate further training of a professional or equivalent nature.

Assessment strategy

A range of inclusive assessment methods will be used in the BSc Dietetics and Nutrition, with the choice of assessment instrument chosen to test the specified learning outcomes, engage students and to support learners different learning styles. These methods are aligned with the school and University assessment strategy and the assessment is the responsibility of the academic staff delivering the module.

Inclusive assessment and feedback is part of the learning process and confirms the outcomes of the learning process. It also provides formative feedback on curriculum design and delivery and, via the ongoing iterative and reflective process of module and course monitoring, makes a significant contribution to the continued development and improvement of the courses that links in with the school’s learning and teaching strategy.

Learners are assessed through a variety of methods allowing them to connect with their own identity, support their development and employability. This includes practical reports, case studies and case scenarios, poster and oral presentations, collation of portfolios, in-class tests, end of semester exams and scientific reports. Where appropriate dietetic and nutritional professional practice informs the type and subject of case studies. Relevant health, public health and nutrition policy guides the assessment subject matter and learners are provided with opportunities to develop an understanding of, and the necessary skills to demonstrate, good academic practice. The volume, timing and nature of assessment enable learners to demonstrate the extent to which they have achieved the intended learning outcomes. On-line tests and phase tests provide formative assessment which supports learners in developing for summative assessment. Feedback is provided within the schools and University guidance and is assessment is timely, constructive and developmental. Assessment criteria, marking guidelines and the processes for marking including that of moderation are clearly articulated within module handbooks and co-designed with learners. These processes are consistently operated by those involved in the assessment process.

Organised work experience, work based learning, sandwich year or year abroad

The course includes four compulsory practice-based learning in designated practice-based learning sites and through simulated learning.
1) DT5W51 Practice Based Learning 1 (Dietitians); normally consists of 2 weeks in the autumn period of the second year.
2) DT5W52 Public Health Practice Based Learning, normally 3 weeks duration and occurs in the summer period in the second year

Modules required for interim awards

All modules are core and compulsory for learners to qualify for an award of BSc (Hons) Dietetics & Nutrition

Arrangements for promoting reflective learning and personal development

Reflective learning and developing skills in reflective practice are essential to help learner dietitians develop critical and analytic approaches to their learning, skill development and in the further development of dietetic practice after qualification. The development of skills in reflective learning and practice are embedded within each module and across the course

Learners will be encouraged to develop their personal portfolio to critically review their learning experiences, set their future personal and academic goals and evaluate their progress towards these goals. Learners will be required to develop an online portfolio of learning during level 4 of their studies and will continue to complete this throughout their course. The portfolio will contain examples of work and reflective pieces both during university and practice-based learning studies and will demonstrate the learners’ personal and professional development.

Learners will learn the principles of reflective learning during DT4056 Health, Society and Behaviour (for Dietitians). These principles are further explored during DT5057 Professional Practice in Dietetics, where learners learn about assessment of competence through the development of a portfolio and undertake written reflective accounts. In addition to these learners will further develop their skills in reflective learning during DT6052 Clinical Dietetics 2. During DT5W52 Public Health Practice Based learning, DT6W52 Practice Based Learning 2 (Dietitians) and DT6W63 Practice Based Learning 3 (Dietitians) students are evaluated through competence-based assessment and learners are expected to use skills in reflective learning and practice to develop their skills and ability to meet the requirements of the dietetic profession.

There is a module at each level whereby reflection is integral to the teaching and learning, for level 4 DT4056 Health, Society and Behaviour (for Dietitians); for level 5 DT5057 Professional Practice in Dietetics and for level 6 - DT6062 Management of Health and Social Care; DT6052 Clinical Dietetics 2. Students will also be provided guidance for personal, professional development and employability (including CV, job application, careers and interview technique). In addition, at level 6 in the project module DT6P01 Dietetics and Nutrition Research Project the supervisor will initially assist with clarifying the terms of the research project, establishing a timetable for the research and subsequent meetings, directed background reading as well as report format and writing and statistical analysis.

Professional Statutory and Regulatory Body (PSRB) accreditations & exemptions

The course is approved by the HCPC. Successfully complete your degree, and you'll be eligible to apply for registration.

The course is also accredited by the BDA. When you have the status "Dietitian" on your HCPC registration, you can join the BDA as a full member.

Career, employability and opportunities for continuing professional development

Dietitians are qualified and regulated health professionals that assess, diagnose and treat dietary and nutritional problems at an individual and wider public-health level. They use the most up-to-date public health and scientific research on food, health and disease which they translate into practical guidance to enable people to make appropriate lifestyle and food choices. (Ref: What is a Dietitian: https://www.bda.uk.com/about-dietetics/what-is-dietitian.html [Accessed July 2021])

Dietitians work as part of a team to manage the health and nutritional needs of individuals, communities and populations. BSc (Hons) Dietetics & Nutrition will provide dietetic graduates with core knowledge and skills to enable individuals to work in a wide variety of areas such as public health and health promotion, the management of nutrition related disease and/or disease related malnutrition and in primary care managing dietary needs in long term illness.

Graduating from the BSc (Hons) Dietetics & Nutrition is the start of lifelong learning and an exciting and varied career in nutrition, health, and disease management.
