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.
