BSc (Hons) Exercise, Health and Nutrition

At a time when the promotion of well-being and holistic health is becoming increasingly high profile, the BSc (Hons) Exercise, Health and Nutrition programme provides an in-depth and multidisciplinary understanding of a range of relevant exercise and health sciences to achieve the first steps in a career in exercise (e.g. personal trainer or exercise referrer), nutrition (e.g. dietetics) and/or health (e.g. health promotion).

Through a comprehensive programme of study, you will be provided with an advanced understanding of contemporary and theoretical knowledge in a number of disciplines (such as exercise physiology, nutrition and exercise psychology), and a range of investigative and research skills enabling you to undertake research and applied practice in your chosen area of study in both an ethical and socially inclusive way. This applied programme aims to enable you to become employment-ready in a range of exciting exercise science, nutrition and physical activity-promotion careers, incorporate a range of nationally-recognised vocational qualifications, whilst also preparing you for a range of post-graduate study and research opportunities.

In addition, the programme is partially mapped to recognised professional governing bodies’ professional core standards, bodies such as the Association for Nutrition (AfN) and The Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMPSA), and the programme team will help and guide you in developing a portfolio for accreditation within these governing bodies.

The Programme Aims are to:
• Develop theoretical, research and evidence-based knowledge and understanding of the role of exercise and nutrition in the maintenance of good health and in the prevention and control of disease.
• Develop multidisciplinary students who have the ability to analyse, synthesise, problem solve, critically evaluate and reflect on information, concepts and processes that underpin exercise, health and nutrition.
• Develop the professional skills of an exercise practitioner to enable the application of scientific principles in exercise, nutrition and fitness in the context of health, and to support the acquisition of vocationally relevant qualifications, thereby developing graduate employability.
• Develop a broad range of transferable personal, intellectual and business skills that are essential for lifelong learning and career development, including the ability to adopt ethically safe working practices, the ability to think globally and consider issues from a variety of perspectives and the ability to adhere to relevant legislation and professional codes of conduct.
• Develop and maintain industrial networks and links with professional bodies through appropriate work placements.
