BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Nutrition

Leeds Beckett University's BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Nutrition is a full-time undergraduate degree aimed at students who want to apply nutritional science to health, exercise, and athletic performance. The programme covers the science of food and metabolism, the body's physiological responses to exercise, dietary assessment, client consultation, and the design of personalised nutrition plans. It is suited to those seeking careers as professional sport and exercise nutritionists, working with athletes, sports organisations, or broader health and wellbeing populations.

Delivered on campus at Headingley's Carnegie School of Sport, the course runs over three years and is taught within a £45 million facility housing specialist nutrition, physiology, and biomechanics labs. It is aligned with the Sport and Exercise Nutrition Register (SENr), providing a recognised route into professional practice. Practical placements and volunteering are embedded throughout, with previous students gaining experience at events including the Olympics and World Athletics Championships.
