Entry requirements for international students
 

Overall IELTS score of 6.5 with a minimum of 6.0 in each component, or equivalent.

• Home ( annual fee) : £10,800
   
• Overseas ( annual fee) : £24,400
   

The fee listed is for the advertised mode of study. If you're studying for an alternative qualification or via a different mode of study (eg full-time, part-time) then the fee could be different. Due to inflation, the fee for Home students could also increase after your first year of study.

After successfully completing their course, graduates have had the opportunity to secure roles within food manufacturing, the pharmaceutical industry, local and central government, overseas aid agencies and teaching.
 

Many alumni have also gone on to study dietetics, resulting in a career in the NHS. Others have gone into research or PhD student positions both nationally and internationally.
