MSc Nutrition for Sport and Exercise

Designed for graduates with a relevant biosciences background, this Cardiff Metropolitan University master's programme develops the evidence-based knowledge and practical skills required to work as a professional sports and exercise nutritionist. Modules progress from the physiological and biochemical demands of sport through applied performance nutrition and athletic population support, to advanced research methods and a substantial independent project. The programme is closely aligned with the competencies required for registration with the Sport and Exercise Nutrition Register (SENR) and has also met the requirements of the British Dietetic Association's SENR accreditation.

Delivered through blended learning, the course combines online study with intensive three-day on-campus teaching blocks held at Cardiff Metropolitan's Cyncoed and Llandaff campuses, using facilities including exercise physiology labs and consumer kitchens. The programme runs over approximately two years on a part-time basis and leads to an MSc, with PgD and PgC exit awards also available. Teaching is provided by experienced academics, including registered SENR practitioners.
