We believe that the best possible healing results can only be achieved by a thorough understanding of human anatomy, physiology, pathology and biochemistry. These form the basis of BCNH studies.
Students who wish to enrol on BCNH Diploma must have an 'A' level Chemistry & Biology (or an equivalent).
Students who do not have the above qualifications will need to complete the Science Foundation course before enrolling for the Diploma. We are now enrolling students for the academic year starting in September 2010. The academic year runs from September to June each year.  Please contact the college for further information on +44 (0) 844 736 5836. We look forward to welcoming you soon and we wish you the best of health!
At BCNH we offer many types of nutritional therapy courses for UK and international students alike:-
- BCNH Diploma in Nutritional Therapy WITHOUT clinical practice
- BCNH Diploma in Nutritional Therapy WITH clinical practice
Following successful completion of a BCNH Diploma, students may apply to join the BSc (Hons) Professional Practice in Health and Social Care (Nutritional Health) delivered by the University of Greenwich, transferring relevant credits from their Diploma studies.
- Distance Learning (DL)
- Attendance
- Combination (DL and attendance)
We estimate that BCNH students require 16 - 20 hours per week of course related study. This includes both class sessions and independent learning (reviewing lecture notes, completing assignments, literature searching, web searching, reading related literature, etc.)
TOP
All students are able to download lecture & seminar notes, timetables, reading lists, module outcomes, course assignments, research papers, live audio recordings etc. from a secure, password protected BCNH website. This is particularly helpful to distance learning students and students who may have to miss a lecture or a seminar.
As from September 2010, several lectures and seminars will also be video recorded and available online.
BCNH lectures and seminars are held in the heart of central London, at University College London (UCL), which is easily accessible by all means of transport.
TOP
Those students who cannot attend lectures and seminars in central London, can study by DL. We also welcome overseas students; several overseas students have already studied with BCNH and we have graduates practicing in countries such as Greece, Malta, Dubai, South Africa, India, Malaysia, New Zealand, etc.
DL students are required to attend 4 weekends throughout their studies:-
1. One orientation day in Year 1
2. One clinical weekend in Year 3
3. Two clinical weekends in Year 4
University of Greenwich courses can be studied online.
At BCNH we provide student support by telephone and email. In addition to a personal tutor, there is also a Programme Leader providing academic support.
BCNH students can use the BCNH student desk during office hours (by appointment only), to access internet for their study purposes or any other student related information.
Students paying BCNH course fees in advance are entitled to:-
- 10% discount if paying the fees in full by 16th July 2010
- 5% discount if paying the fees in full after the above date but before 16th September 2010.
Students can also choose to pay their course fees by monthly or quarterly instalments (no discount is available for payments by instalments).

We are currently working towards Stage 2 accreditation of our courses by the Nutritional Therapy Council, which was founded in 1999 to act as a regulatory body for the profession of Nutritional Therapy. Our course curriculum is based on the Nutritional Therapy Council’s (NTC) National Occupational Standards and we aim to complete the accreditation process in the very near future.
Please note that upon completion of registration, acceptance onto the NTC (Nutritional Therapy Council) register is at the discretion of NTC, not just successful completion of the cours
NTC Accreditation handbook is available on the NTC website:-
