Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Sport and Exercise Nutrition

Help athletes prepare for their chosen sport by providing them with the specialist nutritional program that will aid their performance.

Studying the science of food, students will develop their understanding of how nutritional composition and diet can influence sport and exercise performance. Working across the spectrum – from elite athletes to recreational performers – students will learn how to conduct interviews, assess the dietary intake of individuals and design personalized nutritional interventions.

Refining their understanding of the key disciplines of nutrition, physiology and psychology, their course will also enable students to put their learning into practice through a placement in a setting of their choosing. This could include working within a professional sports environment.

Designed to meet the competency requirements and professional standards set by the Sport & Exercise Nutrition Register (SENr), this course will prepare students to become a professional sport and exercise nutritionist.
