Course summary
Develop nutrition strategies to aid the performance, health and wellbeing of sport teams and athletes, from recreational participants through to elite performers.
Designed to meet the competency requirements and professional standards set by the Sport & Exercise Nutrition Register (SENr), this course will prepare you to become a professional sport and exercise nutritionist.
Youll help athletes prepare for their chosen sport by providing them with the specialist nutritional programmes that will aid their performance.
As part of your course, youll:
Study the science of food, developing your understanding of how nutritional composition and diet can influence sport and exercise performance
Work across the spectrum – from elite athletes to recreational performers – and learn how to conduct interviews, assess the dietary intake of individuals and design personalised nutritional interventions
Refining your understanding of the key disciplines of nutrition, physiology and psychology, your course will enable you to put your learning into practice through a placement in a setting of your choosing. This could include working within a professional sports environment.
Teaching & Learning
Independent study is a crucial part of learning at university and you will be required to undertake many hours of self-directed research and reading, and preparation and writing of assessments. Your course is delivered through a number of modules, which will help you to plan your time and establish a study routine. Outside of your lectures, workshops and tutorials, a range of support is available to assist with your independent study. Our subject-specific librarians will be on hand to direct you to the specialist learning and study-skill resources. Youll also be assigned an academic advisor to give you tailored feedback and support.
Career Prospects
Our established links with industry could spark opportunities to work in clinical practice with professional sports teams and athletes, or you may choose to work in health promotion within the food industry.
Should you wish to further your studies, this course also provides a strong foundation for progression on to our SENr-accredited MSc Sport & Exercise Nutrition programme.
