Student Profile

Louise Timbers

"Having completed my undergraduate degree in Food and Human Nutrition I chose to pursue a career in Dietetics, combining my interest in nutrition, science and working with people.

I found the learning experience at King's excellent. Having lectures delivered by specialist Dietitians helped to bridge the gap between theory and practice, ensuring my knowledge was adequate to practise as a Dietitian whilst on clinical placements.

I really enjoyed undertaking my MSc project and it gave me the opportunity to develop valuable research skills and pursue an area of Dietetics in which I have a keen interest.

Throughout the course I was given support and guidance by the lecturers and provided with opportunities to attend external lectures and BDA meetings.

Since completing the course I hope to work as a Dietitian in the acute setting and in the future pursue my interest in research."
