Sport and Exercise Nutrition (Part-Time) Northumbria University

Overview

As a student in the Sport and Exercise Nutrition (Part-Time) programme at  Northumbria University  , you will develop the skills and knowledge needed to work in multi-disciplinary teams and high-performance environments. You will learn how to work with people from multi-cultural and diverse backgrounds providing dietary advice whilst also considering important lifestyle considerations. 

For instance, you will be encouraged to study contemporary practices that promote sustainability such as plant-based diets and address the dietary needs of special population groups such as the young, female and ethnically diverse athletes.

During the second part of our part-time MSc you will have the opportunity choose from a range of module options that provides flexibility to part-tailor your programme to meet your needs, interests and career aspirations.

Career

During your studies you will complete a module titled “Sport Professional Practice” where you will be challenged to implement plans to enhance your employability through a range of professional development activities, which may include volunteer and internship roles, other informal learning opportunities, and non-formal and formal continued professional development (CPD) opportunities. 

You will be required to plan and engage with a programme of CPD activities, and reflect on your learning, to ultimately enhance your employability upon graduation.
