This course provides graduates with the academic knowledge and professional skills required to pursue a career in the field of sport and exercise nutrition, including practitioner and researcher-based work. It offers you an opportunity to develop knowledge and skills relevant to the broad spectrum of professional training in sport and exercise nutrition. This includes working with athletes and sports teams who use nutrition to optimise training adaptations and athletic performance or to address health issues such as rising rates of obesity and increasingly elderly population.

  • You will be taught in a stimulating and supportive learning environment that draws on expert knowledge, research and applied practice.

Overall, this course will help facilitate your future career aspirations, including applied practice and/or further study at Doctoral level.

We welcome applications from international students as sport and exercise nutrition is a truly global area. The course staff and the wider University provides additional support to those students who come from overseas.
