Postgraduate Study
Postgraduate study may enable you to explore aspects of Human Nutrition in greater depth or to study a new subject. A postgraduate qualification, either academic or vocational, is required to enter roles such as Dietician, and can be an advantage in others. You should consider why you want to do postgraduate work, whether it will affect your career prospects and whether you are likely to get funding.
