An M.Sc. in Sports Nutrition, which normally takes 1-2 years to complete, examines the role of nutrition in improving athletic performance, recuperation, and overall health. Core courses include Sports Nutrition Science, Exercise Metabolism, Nutritional Supplements in Sports, Dietary Strategies for Performance, Exercise Physiology, and Clinical Nutrition. Students learn how to create nutrition regimens that are suited to the needs of athletes, ranging from endurance to strength training. Practical components include case studies, internships, and research projects. Graduates can work as sports nutritionists, dietitians, or advisors for athletes, sports teams, fitness facilities, and wellness groups. A thesis or capstone project might be required.
