About Nutrition & Exercise Sciences Bsc (hons)zz in University of Central Lancashire (UCLAN)

Sedentary lifestyles and poor nutrition can cause diseases that place an enormous burden on the individual and society as a whole. If you’re interested in the science behind nutrition, exercise and health, this is the course for you. Our state-of-the-art laboratories boast a wide variety of equipment, including advanced physiology, nutrition and food chemistry laboratory facilities and equipment. 

The role exercise and nutrition science plays in healthy ageing and disease reduction has become a focus for national health policy in recent times. While the course offers a good grounding in both nutrition and exercise science, it also offers the flexibility of two strands of study – allowing you to specialise in either nutrition and food science or health and fitness. In your final year, you’ll also have the chance to take on a professional work experience module and a research project.

Learning is reinforced through opportunities to work with case studies, local community initiatives and our own Eat-2-Win clinic. Our unique and longstanding relationships with local professional sports clubs and health organisations enables us to provide you with experiential learning opportunities that are relevant to both your learning and your career goals. You can also tailor your degree studies to your personal career ambitions, choosing from a range of specialist optional modules.
