Overview
The role exercise and nutrition science plays in healthy ageing and disease reduction has become a focus for national health policy in recent times. While the course offers a good grounding in both nutrition and exercise science, it also offers the flexibility of two strands of study – allowing you to specialise in either nutrition and food science or health and fitness. In your final year, you’ll also have the chance to take on a professional work experience module and a research project.
Learning is reinforced through opportunities to work with case studies, local community initiatives and our own Eat-2-Win clinic. Our unique and longstanding relationships with local professional sports clubs and health organisations enables us to provide you with experiential learning opportunities that are relevant to both your learning and your career goals. You can also tailor your degree studies to your personal career ambitions, choosing from a range of specialist optional modules.
Future careers
The knowledge and skills you’ll develop on the Nutrition and Exercise Sciences BSc (Hons) programme can help you chart a future in research, healthcare, sport, food industry, teaching and more.
Graduates of this Nutrition and Exercise Sciences (Hons) programme from University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) are highly employable, because they leave us equipped with all the tools to create exercise and nutritional intervention programmes that prevent and reduce disease. It’s an area that has climbed the agenda in recent years, making it a skillset that’s more valuable than ever.
