Sport Exercise and Nutrition

Summary

Good nutrition is key for everyone, from aiding elite athletes, supporting personal training, and community-based sport, to preventing illness and promoting recovery from diseases.

This course provides the opportunity to gain scientific underpinning knowledge and skills designed to help you secure an exciting and rewarding post-university role within these areas.

During this course, you’ll gain an in-depth understanding of how nutrition relates to exercise and health, as well as sport performance. You’ll study modules relating to anatomy and physiology, digestion and metabolism, nutrition assessment methods and nutrition of exercise and health.

The course will help you develop skills you need to work as a sports nutritionist, physical activity coordinator, health advisor, sports development officer, personal trainer, or exercise referral specialist. Alternatively, following further training, you might opt to instead become a teacher in educational settings.

Why study Sport, Exercise and Nutrition BSc(Hons)

This course is accredited by the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA)* – the professional development body for the UK’s sport and physical activity sector. This enables you to gain specific skills and knowledge necessary for a range of roles – for example, gym instructor, personal trainer or working with people with long-term conditions. You’ll also have the chance to gain industry-recognised standards and qualifications that are recognised by major employers in the sector aligned to your degree.

In your second year, you’ll secure a work placement. On campus, you’ll benefit from specialist facilities, including our sport and exercise science labs, and our sport and fitness centre; you’ll be taught by lecturers with a wealth of experience, who are active in research and helping to shape real-world practice. This gives you the chance to learn from the best and gain the latest industry knowledge.

*Whilst studying the course you can apply for annual student membership of CIMSPA, at just £5 per student (an 83 per cent saving). This gives you access to e-learning, guest lectures, digital newsletters, magazines, and work placements, volunteering, and job opportunities. On successful completion of the course, you’ll be eligible to apply for CIMSPA graduate membership, at your own expense.
