Teaching & Learning

Independent study is a crucial part of learning at university and you will be required to undertake many hours of self-directed research and reading, and preparation and writing of assessments. Your course is delivered through several modules, which will help you to plan your time and establish a study routine. Outside of your lectures, workshops and tutorials, a range of support is available to assist with your independent study. Our subject-specific librarians will be on hand to direct you to specialist learning and study-skill resources. You’ll also be assigned an academic advisor to give you tailored feedback and support.

Food & Nutrition for Health & Exercise

Investigate the role of food and nutrition in health, sport, and exercise throughout the lifespan. Apply knowledge of nutrition to specific populations and develop skills for assessing and interpreting nutritional intake and status.

Exercise Prescription for Health & Performance

Planned, delivered, and evaluated effective and progressive exercise programs for clinical and athletic populations. Explore the interdisciplinary nature of exercise prescription through authentic case studies and practical sessions.

Physiological Responses to Sport & Exercise

Identify and evaluate research, assessment techniques, and exercise practices in various situations, including maximal, intermittent, and prolonged exercise. Develop an understanding of exercise prescription for health and sports performance.

Biomechanical Determinants of Human Movement

Enhance understanding of biomechanical theory through application in sports, exercise, and health settings. Appreciate the influence of key mechanical determinants on human movement and learn methods to optimize exercise and performance. Develop laboratory and practical skills in data collection and analysis techniques.
