Program Description
Abertay University's Fitness, Nutrition and Health programme will equip students with the skills and knowledge they need to develop solutions to meet these challenges head on, with teaching underpinned by research and practical work delivered in our state-of-the-art facilities. This joint offering between the Divisions of Engineering and Food Science and Sport and Exercise Sciences draws on the core disciplines of physiology, psychology, biomechanics and nutrition, and provides built-in work placements designed to match students' career interests.
Students will learn via lectures, small group seminars, tutorials, practical activities and private study. Practical activities and work placements help students relate theory to real-life applications (and work towards industry qualifications).
This bespoke programme allows students to study both nutrition and sports science, giving students an edge in the graduate job market. Students will be well-equipped to work in a wide range of fitness and health professions, including roles such as an Active Schools Coordinator or in public health nutrition. The programme provides built-in work placements matched to the student's career interests. Students will also hear guest speakers from a range of organizations including the Dundee Health Living Initiative, HELM Training Dundee, NHS Tayside and Mytime Active.
