Nothing is more important than our wellbeing. But for many of us, modern life stands in the way of taking proper care of ourselves – from an increase in desk jobs and working from home, to the rising culture of convenience foods.<br/><br/>Sports science, health and nutrition targets everyone, from schoolchildren to the elderly, and from the most inactive members of our community to performance athletes at the top of their game. On one hand, it’s about encouraging healthy habits, combating poor diets, and sharing the benefits of physical activity with people far and wide. On the other, it’s about delving into sports psychology, physiology and culture; interrogating the relationship between nutrition and exercise performance at elite levels; and devising innovative techniques and diet plans to maximise athletes’ success.<br/><br/>On this course, you’ll take a holistic approach to sport and wellbeing, and work with real people to revolutionise their lifestyles. You’ll transfer your learning from the classroom into the community, turn culinary concepts into kitchen creations, and apply new practices to performance athletes’ routines.<br/><br/>**Industry endorsement**<br/>This course has been endorsed by the British Dietetic Association’s Sport and Exercise Nutrition Register (SENR). This quality mark guarantees that the material you study has been mapped to the SENR standards expected of those working in sport and exercise nutrition.<br/><br/>You can apply for acceptance on the SENR Graduate Register after completing an appropriate postgraduate qualification.<br/><br/>**What you’ll study**<br/>BSc Sport Science, Health and Nutrition at NTU covers all bases in the field. You’ll unpack the psychology behind people’s behaviour and attitudes towards sport and health, investigate the anatomy and physiology behind exercise, and explore the biological functions of the nutrients we consume. You’ll make a tangible difference to people’s lives as you learn, applying your knowledge to live briefs from within NTU and set by our partner organisations.<br/><br/>From Year Two onwards, you’ll benefit from an extensive range of optional modules – covering topics from sociological and cultural approaches to sport and health, to the biology and physiology behind exercise – allowing you to tailor your degree and home in on your chosen career path.<br/><br/>You’ll also have the opportunity to get a Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA) Personal Trainer qualification alongside your degree. Study highlights include:<br/>- Investigate key topics in sport sciences for health, like nutrition, physiology, psychology and sociology.<br/><br/><br/>- Gain crucial work-like experience with our dedicated Sport and Wellbeing Academy, where you’ll take real clients through a 12-week exercise programme and offer nutrition advice, guided by experienced industry professionals.<br/><br/><br/>- Get hands-on and develop your physiology testing skills in our high-tech laboratories.<br/><br/><br/>- Expand your industry network as you work on live briefs set by organisations like the NHS, Nottingham City Council and Healthy Eating Solutions Ltd.<br/><br/><br/>- Work with NTU Health Promotion Specialists on real-life briefs to improve the health of NTU students and staff.<br/><br/><br/>- Get additional qualifications alongside your degree, like a Diploma in Professional Practice during a placement year, and a Personal Trainer certification with CIMPSA.<br/><br/><br/>- Boost your employability further by learning a language alongside your sports nutrition studies on our University Language Programme (ULP).<br/>
