The MSc Sport and Exercise Nutrition is a specialised postgraduate programme designed for students who wish to develop expertise in nutrition for athletic performance, health, and fitness. The course integrates scientific principles with practical application, equipping learners with the skills to assess, design, and implement nutrition strategies for individuals and teams in sports, exercise, and health settings.

Students study key areas including energy metabolism, nutrient requirements, supplementation, hydration, body composition, dietary planning, and performance optimisation. The programme also covers research methods, public health nutrition, and applied physiology to ensure a strong evidence-based approach. Learners gain hands-on experience through practical labs, case studies, dietetic planning exercises, and real-world consultancy projects.

Graduates are prepared for careers in sports performance nutrition, health and wellness consultancy, elite athletic support, exercise science centres, sports clubs, research institutions, and health promotion organisations. The programme also provides a solid foundation for further postgraduate research or professional accreditation in sport nutrition and dietetics.
