BSc Hons Nutritional Therapy: We are the only private Centre in the UK delivering a nutritional therapy undergraduate degree course that is fully validated by a university. This enables us to ensure that every aspect of our course is designed to help you become the best possible nutritional therapy practitioner. This course has been running successfully for six years. Our nutritional therapy undergraduate course is validated by Middlesex University MU. In 2006 the QAA expressed broad confidence in Middlesex Universities management of their collaborative partners like CNELM.
New! BSc Hons Nutritional Science: We are collaborating with Middlesex University and subject to MU validation a new degree course will start in January 2009 BSc Hons Nutritional Science. This course will closely emulate the nutritional therapy degree course but will lead to non-clinical outcomes. Opportunities will be available to take a postgraduate clinical training if practice is desired at a later stage. Many applicants over the years wish to join this sector of the nutrition industry but do not necessarily wish to practice. This course is designed to enable people to join the industry in a variety of ways: writing, teaching, research, community projects, technical support for companies. Please contact us to find out more about this course.
