DD Y13 considering a degree in Nutrition/Sports Nutrition…advice please.

[MonkeyTennis34]

DD is doing the Career Program of the IB at grammar school. She’s studying Biology, Psychology and Sport. Shes thinking about Nutrition or Sports Nutrition as a degree. Does anyone know of any recommended courses, whether they are likely lead to a good job??

Combined with a PT qualification, it could be a good earner. But as a "job", not self employed, I think she might struggle.

I don't think you'd get an actual job from it easily. I mean anyone can sell their services as a 'nutritionist', you don't need a degree. So it would be self employed work.

What about dietician? That's more medical but is definitely a career.

Thanks @DiscoBob
Are there specific degrees for this job?

Take a look at the British Dietetic Association website for lots of info on what a dietitian is, how to study/qualify and the work they do. It’s a really interesting and rewarding career.

Thank you @R00tat00tt00t
Will do.

Nutrition and Sports Nutrition can lead to rewarding careers, but it’s worth looking into the range of roles, accreditation requirements, and graduate employment outcomes before choosing. Wishing her all the best with her studies!

Thanks.
DD has a deferred place at Leeds to study Nutrition.
Regarding employment avenues, when DH took DD for an Open Day, he had concerns.
Speaking to lecturers he said that it became clear that employability was high following the degree.
After the first year, DD could opt to take Food Science which I imagine would have excellent employability rates.
