The MSc in Human Nutrition and Dietetics is a comprehensive postgraduate program designed for graduates holding a BSc or MSc in Nutrition or a related field. This course prepares students to meet the professional competency requirements for registration with the Dietitians Registration Board (CORU). The full-time program spans two academic years.
Aligned with guidelines from the Irish Nutrition and Dietetic Institute (INDI) and CORU's education standards, the curriculum incorporates evidence-based research and contemporary dietetic practices. Teaching methods include lectures, workshops, hands-on training, and problem-based learning sessions.
Students undertake 1,000 hours of Practice Education (clinical placements) across both years, applying classroom knowledge in real-world settings. These placements, organized in collaboration with the University, Health Service Executive, and private/voluntary organizations, include mandatory rotations through diverse healthcare environments (hospitals, clinics, community centers) in Southern Ireland.
