Course summary

Nothing is more important than our wellbeing. But for many of us, modern life stands in the way of taking proper care of ourselves – from an increase in desk jobs and working from home, to the rising culture of convenience foods.Sports science, health and nutrition targets everyone, from schoolchildren to the elderly, and from the most inactive members of our community to performance athletes at the top of their game. On one hand, it’s about encouraging healthy habits, combating poor diets, and sharing the benefits of physical activity with people far and wide. On the other, it’s about delving into sports psychology, physiology and culture interrogating the relationship between nutrition and exercise performance at elite levels and devising innovative techniques and diet plans to maximise athletes’ success.On this course, you’ll take a holistic approach to sport and wellbeing, and work with real people to revolutionise their lifestyles. You’ll transfer your learning from the classroom into the community, turn culinary concepts into kitchen creations, and apply new practices to performance athletes’ routines.
