SPORT AND EXERCISE NUTRITION - MSC Birmingham City University (BCU)

Program Description

The course will be delivered through a series of taught and practice-based learning sessions delivered by our SENr registered Sport & Exercise Nutrition academic staff. The practical sessions will involve laboratory, field-based and nutrition kitchen-related work to develop the range of practical skills and competencies required of a sport and exercise nutritionist. The taught sessions will cover the key principles of sport and exercise nutrition, exercise metabolism and biochemistry, ensuring that you have a strong scientific knowledge underpinning your applied practice. Throughout the course, you will be encouraged to critically evaluate the latest scientific research and emerging themes in sport and exercise nutrition to develop an evidence-based approach to your work. Aligned to this, you will have the opportunity to engage in a Professional Practice placement which will allow you to apply your skills and knowledge with a range of external clients, including athletes from professional sport (Football; Cricket; Rugby etc.), as well as the wider health and exercise community.
