Nutrition for Sport and Exercise

​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.

We are applying for accreditation with the SENr in the 2024-25 academic year and will know the outcome in July 2025. We have been advised by SENr that if accreditation is approved, that accreditation will apply to students already enrolled on the programme.

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.
