Sport and Exercise Nutrition, BSc (Hons)

Professional footballers require tailored dietary strategies to enhance performance, while 100m sprinters need specific foods for post-race recovery, and individuals with heart conditions benefit from suitable exercises. The global surge in nutrient manipulation for optimal health and performance in sports has heightened demand for skilled nutrition experts. Our sport and exercise nutrition course addresses this by exploring the interplay between diet, health, wellbeing, and athletic achievement, while developing practical skills like dietary advising, surveys, and advocacy.The programme offers flexibility, allowing students to opt for a placement year after starting the three-year course. Graduates can apply for Associate Registered Nutritionist status on the UK Voluntary Register of Nutritionists. Access to advanced facilities, including physiology labs and kitchens, plus opportunities to work with elite teams and join initiatives like MetMunch, enriches the experience.
