Prospective students should normally have first completed a degree in Nutrition, Dietetics, Sport and Exercise Science, Human Biology, Exercise Physiology or similar, gaining at least a 2:2 classification. This is an important consideration if students wish to become a Registrant of the Sport and Exercise Nutrition Register Practitioner. You need 2:2 honours degree or UWTSD recognised equivalent. Alternative entry routes - Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education (PGCert). This is the first part of the full Masters degree. Once you have successfully completed your PGCert studies, you will be eligible to progress for the remainder of the Masters degree. These are ideal routes if you are returning to study after a gap, or if you have not previously studied this subject, or if you did not achieve the grades you need for a place on this degree.
