Anyone studying Dietetics?

Is there anybody here who's currently studying or has recently studied Dietetics? I'm trying to find out how much time is involved in a university course? I currently work 22.5 hrs in an office admin role... Would I need to give this up/reduce my hours?
I also have 2 lower secondary aged kids and loads of pets. Am I kidding myself to think I could do a degree with a part-time job?
(I have only found full-time Dietetics courses in my area.)

It's unusual for undergraduate health professions courses to run part-time.
Like any health professions course, dietetics is going to include time spent on placements, where you're likely to be working full-time in NHS or other care settings. So even if you could combine a part-time job with the university weeks (depending on how teaching sessions are scheduled), you won't be able to do this during placements.
It looks as though courses vary quite a bit in how placements are arranged. Coventry has them heavily backloaded (very little time in the first two years; most of the time [26 weeks] in third year); Leeds Beckett has them evenly distributed between years 2 (13 weeks) and 3 (12 weeks), with only 3 weeks in year 1.

Thank you, this was my conclusion, too.
