Description:

Help athletes prepare for their chosen sport by providing them with the specialist nutritional programmes that will aid their performance. Studying the science of food, you will develop your understanding of how nutritional composition and diet can influence sport and exercise performance. Working across the spectrum – from elite athletes to recreational performers – you will learn how to conduct interviews, assess the dietary intake of individuals and design personalised nutritional interventions.



Refining your understanding of the key disciplines of nutrition, physiology and psychology, your course will also enable you to put your learning into practice through a placement in a setting of your 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 you to become a professional sport and exercise nutritionist.
