Course Overview

Vocation 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 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 on to work with elite sports but many will apply their skills to a wider range of individuals including amateur sports 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.
