Nutrition improves performance, whether in elite sport, amateur fitness or exercise among the general population. This course will enable you to gain the evidence-based knowledge and skills needed to become a professional Sports and Exercise Nutritionist. The course has been designed to enable you to join the Sport and Exercise Nutrition Register (SENR), the professional register for qualified sports and exercise nutritionists in the UK.
You’ll be taught by experienced academics, including registered SENR practitioners, to ensure you enter the workplace with the skills you need to positively impact performance of whoever you are working with.
Students are required to have BSc (Hons) degree in a subject which meets the biosciences requirement of the Sport and Exercise Nutrition register for degree level study in human physiology and biochemistry. Typically, this would include subjects such as:
BSc (Hons) Nutrition
BSc (Hons) Dietetics
BSc (Hons) Biomedical Sciences
BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science
BSc (Hons) Biology
The programme is closely aligned to professional standards and competencies, particularly the requirements for SENR registration. Vocational modules in professional practice enable students to work with selected sports teams, clubs and individuals to improve their performance with nutrition. This is undertaken in a flexible manner to fit with the interests and career aspirations of each individual student. All work is supervised closely by registered practitioners to ensure clear skills development within the SENR code of professional conduct.
The course has been designed to enable you to join the Sport and Exercise Nutrition Register (SENR), the professional register for qualified sports and exercise nutritionists. This is an important quality maker which recognises that your skills and knowledge have been benchmarked against those required in this competitive job market.
Some graduates will go onto work with elite sport, but many will apply their skills to a wider range of individuals including amateur sport and promoting good nutrition to improve health in the wider population. There is a strong emphasis on transferable skills throughout the course, for example dietary assessment and consultation skills.
