AfN Degree Accreditation is awarded to a programme for a period of five years unless stated otherwise. An application for re-accreditation should be made before the end of the cycle to ensure continuous accreditation applies.
Should degree programme accreditation cease before existing students complete their degree, the university holds full responsibility for this. They must promptly inform the students of this fact and that they will not be eligible to apply to join the UKVRN (UK Voluntary Register of Nutritionists) upon graduation as a Registered Associate Nutritionist (ANutr), as there is no longer a portfolio application pathway for registration as a Registered Associate Nutritionist for graduates of non-accredited UK nutrition degrees.
Graduates from non-accredited UK nutrition degrees will be able to apply to register once they have gained all of the foundational competencies plus sufficient post-graduate professional experience to have achieved the additional RNutr competences, in order to be able to apply for registration via the RNutr portfolio pathway.
