week in the life of a first year dietetic student

Hey guys! I thought I’d do a week in the life post, so you can see what the timetable is like for a first-year dietetic student. I was told that it was very busy and ‘pretty much 9-5 most days’ so when I got to uni, I was quite surprised as to what it was actually like. I hope you find this useful!

Monday: Introduction to Dietetics lecture 2 – 4 pm

Tuesday: Biochemistry practical 2 – 6 pm

Wednesday: Genes and Cells lecture 9 – 11 am

Thursday: Introduction to Health Behaviours lecture 9 – 1 pm and Global Food Security lecture 2 – 4 pm.

Friday:  Introduction to Nutrition lecture 9 – 11 am.

And that’s it for the week!

Obviously, this varies week to week and is different for every university, but it does give an idea as to what to expect. Also, there is other things to do outside of lectures, like coursework, tutorials, and revision so lectures aren’t the only time you’ll spend doing work.

Bye for now! 👋
