Course summary
What this course is about
UCAS code: 3U9Z
Here's what University of Huddersfield says about its Sport, Exercise and Nutrition course.
Good nutrition is key for everyone. It aids elite athletes, supports personal training, and community-based sport, prevents illness and promotes recovery from diseases; a balanced diet helps individuals benefit from optimal performance in sport too.
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.
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.
Why Study Sport Exercise and Nutrition BSc(Hons) at University of Huddersfield? In your second year, you’ll secure a work placement, and, 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 who have a wealth of experience, are research-active and help to shape real-world practice, meaning you’ll learn the very latest industry knowledge. You’ll develop the skills to work as a sports nutritionist, physical activity coordinator, health advisor, sports development officer, personal trainer, or exercise referral specialist, or you could undertake further training, or opt instead to become a teacher in educational settings.
Professional Bodies This course is approved by the Sport and Exercise Nutrition Register (SENr), meaning that successful completion of this degree acts as a first step towards Graduate Registration with the SENr (a nationally recognised quality mark for your work in sports and exercise nutrition). Please note that, in order to become eligible for graduate registration, you would need to progress to postgraduate study following your degree and obtain a postgraduate diploma. This is why we also offer the integrated Master's four-year degree in Sport, Exercise and Nutrition MSci.
Reflecting our commitment to equipping you with the skills, knowledge and experience needed to effectively transition into roles in the sector, this course is endorsed by the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA). This enables you to gain industry-recognised standards and qualifications, including gym instructor, personal trainer, and working with people with long-term conditions, that are recognised by major employers in the sector aligned to your degree.
Why Huddersfield? Huddersfield’s vibrant and friendly campus is a great place from which to study, while the town itself offers lots to see and do, with good transport links in and around the area.
