What ‘level’ is MNU?
MNU offers a Level 5 Diploma in Advanced Nutrition Science, which is the highest level of qualification attainable outside of a degree. It’s a government-regulated, awarding body-accredited qualification that has been mapped against the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF). Upon successfully completing MNU, graduates are also able to call themselves MNU Certified Nutritionists and use the post-nominals MN.Nutr after their name.
We are the only internationally recognised Level 5 qualification in Advanced Nutrition Science, and our graduates are able to access the highest level of professional indemnity through bespoke insurance policies in over 35 countries, both in person and online*.
Many of our graduates go on to develop successful careers building their own private nutrition consultancies or coaching businesses offering a variety of services including 1-2-1 consultations, goal-specific nutrition interventions and sports nutrition, depending on their background, target population and professional interests. Employers, internationally, are actively seeking MNU Certified Nutritionists to recruit into gyms, clinics, private facilities and health-related companies, including the NHS in their Diabetes Prevention Programme & Binge Eating GSH Intervention.
In many countries, a lack of regulation means anyone can practise freely as a nutritionist. However, MNU Certified Nutritionist is our collective trademark, meaning only our graduates can use the title, making their credentials immediately distinguishable in an unregulated market.
