BSc Strength, Conditioning and Sports Nutrition

This Bachelor of Science degree is special because it combines the study of strength and conditioning with sports nutrition. Students learn practical skills based on the latest research. This happens through both classroom study and hands-on experience in the university's modern facilities, like the Human Performance Centre.

The course has professional approval from the International Universities Strength and Conditioning Association (IUSCA). Once students finish, they will be ready to get the IUSCA's Accredited International Strength and Conditioning Practitioner certification. There are also chances for students to complete work placements to better prepare them for their future careers.
