How do i become a dietician..?

I finished my GCSE’s in may and i got all C+.
I am now doing a-levels…a double award in health and social (worth 2 a-levels) and a psychology a-level. Is this enough to be a dietician or do i need to do a science or maths? What degree will i need to do in uni to be a dietician, thanks in advance

To work as a dietitian in the NHS you must be registered with the Health Professions Council (HPC). This means first obtaining a BSc in dietetics. Courses must be approved by the HPC. For the degree course, you will need five GCSEs, or the equivalent, including maths and English, and at least two relevant A levels or equivalents. At least one science is usually required..

You should be fine with what you have; Health and Social care will include the Science element. Check with the Universities that offer the course and check their actual entry requirements, each University differs. You have to apply through UCAS
