This course will provide you with the underpinning scientific knowledge of nutrition and physiology for sports performance, exercise and health. This programme is approved by the Sport and Exercise Nutrition Register (SENr) to ensure that the knowledge and competencies are aligned with professional standards. You will study nutrition and exercise at both ends of the spectrum, from assessing professional sports teams to health-based clients with specific nutritional issues. It’s a chance for you to gain experience in developing nutritional strategies that aid performance, health and wellbeing. You will undertake physiological and nutritional assessment of sports performers in our state-of-the-art laboratories. However, it's important to know that the course isn’t just about analysing elite athletes - you will also have the opportunity to learn how nutrition and exercise can impact upon people with different physiques and states of health. By taking this course, you will be studying at the brand new home for the School of Health Sciences, which will contain a state-of-the-art laboratory, sports therapy rooms, cutting-edge resources and a designated sports area. The sport and exercise nutrition course covers a variety of sectors, so you will be able to secure employment in a number of roles. You could work in clinical practice, working for professional sports teams and performers. Or you could work in the health sector, where you will aid members of the public with specific dietary issues. Placements play a significant role in this course, helping you to build up your experience and knowledge of working within the sector.
