Course summary
Overview
As people are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of diet and exercise, the role of the sports and exercise nutritionist has grown in demand. Our MSc/PGDip is based on the latest scientific research and best practice. You’ll explore the role of nutrition in helping people improve their health and performance in competitive sports.
At Oxford Brookes, we place great emphasis on the word ‘applied’. You’ll be working with real people and real equipment in both simulated and live situations as you put theory into practice. Our team of experts, all experienced researchers and coaches, will encourage you to consider topics such as hydration, gut health or protein metabolism.
You may already be a practising sports and exercise nutritionist, so rather than make work experience compulsory, we’ve kept it optional. Apply your lessons to your own practice or use our links with professional sports teams, Oxfordshire hospitals and food organisations.
Whatever your starting point, our MSc will act as a great springboard for the next stage of your career.
Careers
With the MSc/PgDip in Applied Sport and Exercise Nutrition, you’ll have a wide range of options open to you. As well as your theoretical knowledge, you’ll have developed key skills in analysing results and presenting practical nutrition recommendations.
You may decide to work with a professional sports club as a nutritionist to help players improve their performance and find a competitive advantage.
Or you may choose to focus on nutrition in a health and exercise context as a lifestyle consultant. That could be in a hospital or in your own private practice.
Previous graduates have gone into industry, working for major companies like GlaxoSmithKline, or have taken up roles with the regional Institutes of Sport in the UK. Others have gone on to teach in further or higher education, or acquired funded PhD positions.
Students can also exit with Pgdip/PgCert awards.
