Overview

Course overview

The Sport and Exercise Nutrition program at The University of Wales Trinity Saint David will give you the knowledge and skills needed to become a sports nutrition practitioner / sports nutritionist.

The role of nutrition in sports performance is now seen as an important part of an all athlete’s preparation and training programme.

You will learn about the principles of sports nutrition and fitness that are based on up to date and current theories and evidence. This will enable you to turn theory into practice and advice athletes from all sports to maximise their performance.

Specialist software is used to undertake dietary analysis and meal planning. Students also use the human performance laboratory to assess individuals’ health and fitness levels.

Career opportunities:

Graduates will go on to work with elite and recreational athletes across a range of sports. Many Sports Governing Bodies require at least Practitioner status to work for them.
There are increasing opportunities to work in a variety of sports or to set up a business working with elite and recreational athletes. The opportunities are endless.
Our lecturers are also practitioners themselves and have a wealth of experience that helps to guide your career.
