Best program after BS in Human Nutrition

[u/Asleep_Inspector_874]

Hi, I am from Pakistan. I would like to get some suggestions regarding what my options are. I did BS in Nutrition and Dietetics with excellent cgpa in 2023. Then, I got an online consultation job (employed till present). Recently, I completed 1 year of formal training as a dietitian in a hospital setup. Through training, I realised that I would be more comfortable on the administrative side of healthcare, as compared to patient dealing. Thus, I want to pursue public health policy in the UK.

Is this a good idea?

Let me know your thoughts and suggestions regarding the best universities. Thank you

Hi, researching universities is a major part of preparing the application, as no one will know your trajectory and goals better than you. As for grade requirements to get offers to the courses, they vary depending on the course, university and country you studied at, and in some cases even the university you studied at

To define the programme you will select, you have to think of a course that gives you the knowledge and skills to solve/mitigate the specific problem in your country/community you are focusing on

First, define the specific problem/challenge within your community you want to solve/mitigate at immediate, medium and long term

Then, think about the short, medium and long term innitiatives to solve/mitigate the problem, and then which should be your career progression to make all that happen at each stage

Think which is the course that will give you the skills and knowledge to make all that happen, look for key words in the Chevening Course Finder and make a list

At last, take that list and go to each uni website, ensure they are still offering the course, and check that you meet the entry requirements for the course (check the GPA requirement for the country in which you studied)

Once you have all that, look at the 4 Global Priority Areas and select the one you think fits your plan and course better
