LJMU has an excellent employability record with 96% (Graduate Outcomes, 2018/19) of our postgraduates in work or further study 15 months after graduation. Our applied learning techniques and strong industry connections ensure our students are fully prepared for the workplace on graduation and understand how to apply their knowledge in a real world context.
 

The integrated and critical nature of the programme promotes qualities and skills relevant to employability within the sports nutrition field. The degree is ideal for individuals looking to work as Sports Nutritionists with national governing bodies such as the English Institute of Sport (EIS).
 

Many graduates from this programme have gone on to work as Sport Nutritionists in professional sports clubs and/or national Institutes of sport including Manchester United FC, Warrington Wolves, The RFU, The EIS and Team Sky. Some have gone on to further studies, e.g. a PhD in Sport Nutrition or Exercise Metabolism. Graduates also work as self-employed Sport Nutritionists for professional and amateur athletes.
 

Although most graduates pursue accreditation with SENr and seek work in the field of sport nutrition, the degree is also ideally suited for Strength and Conditioning Practitioners who are looking to increase their knowledge and applied skills in nutrition, as well as those interested in using exercise nutrition to improve the health of the general public. The theoretical basis of the course will also be ideal if you wish to pursue further academic studies and move to a PhD in nutrition or exercise biochemistry. The translational skills taught on the course are applicable to working in the community and improving the health and fitness of the general population. The main focus of the programme, however, is on working with elite performers and investigating how nutrition can maximise the health, body composition and performance of athletes.
