Course Overview

With an increase in human life expectancy and prevalence of chronic disease and illness, it is vital for health, exercise and nutrition practitioners to understand the impact of not only physical activity, but nutrition relating to health, fitness, and disease.

The BSc (Hons) Health, Exercise and Nutrition degree at Lincoln aims to provide students with an understanding of the theoretical knowledge and practical competence required to work confidently in the industries of health, exercise, and nutrition.

Students will cover core disciplines and concepts that span policy, practice, and the underpinning science behind them. Research-informed teaching is shaped by current practices within industry. Over the course of three years, you will be able to experience specialist modules that have been designed to develop and enhance knowledge and understanding, and gain relevant practical skills in the broad field of physical activity, health promotion and exercise and performance-related nutrition.

Course Overview

Lincoln's BSc (Hons) Health, Exercise and Nutrition degree will allow you to gain a thorough understanding of the continuing theoretical knowledge and practical competence in core disciplines and concepts related to science, policy and practice. The programme adopts an applied and experiential learning approach through a range of vocationally related modules and upon completion, graduates will hold the academic analytical skills and industry focused applied skills needed to gain employment with public and private healthcare providers.

Over the course of three years, you'll be able to study specialist subjects in science, policy, and practice which will enhance your knowledge, understanding and practical skills in the broad field of physical activity, health promotion, and exercise and performance-related nutrition. The programme will have a balance of core units at levels one, two and three and there'll be further electives (within physiology and health-based strands) to enable you to specialise your studies to suit your interests and career aspirations.

The University of Lincoln holds a variety of international education partnerships across Europe and Asia. Since 2014 the University has developed a strong partnership with The Vocational Training Council (VTC) in Hong Kong. Our UK students have previously been able to engage with and visit our international education partners in Hong Kong.

How You Study

In the first year, students can examine core theoretical components relevant to physical activity, exercise, health, and nutrition.

During the second and third years of study, this theory is put into practice and vocationally relevant skills can be developed through workplace shadowing, case study portfolios, independent research and assessment work with individual clients.

The course supports students to develop applied skills in evaluating and assessing a range of clients. It provides students with an opportunity to learn how to confidently provide suitable physical activity and healthy eating recommendations, and design, implement, and evaluate health promotion projects. Students will have the chance to gain an understanding of a broad array of components in local public health work.

Students can achieve industry recognition by completing optional modules in exercise instruction, personal training, and exercise prescription for health.

How You Study

At level one, you can examine core theoretical components relevant to physical activity, exercise, performance, health and nutrition. At level two, you'll have the opportunity to apply foundation concepts to the applied environment through practical experience within the curriculum and assessment work involving individual clients. Theoretical understanding and practical experience are developed further during level three through workplace shadowing, case study portfolios and independent research in alignment with vocational and professional industry requirements.

The programme encourages you to gain the competency and confidence to work in a range of disciplines following graduation with different population groups. Examples of this would be to learn how to evaluate clients with different health or athletic needs and to independently deliver, monitor and evaluate suitable physical activity, health promotion and nutritional programmes.

You can expect a combination of weekly lectures, seminars, practical sessions, workshops, and tutorials to support your progression throughout the programme.

Alongside the programme, the School of Sport and Exercise Science provides additional opportunities to complete further recognised industry qualifications or awards in areas such as exercise instruction, personal training and exercise prescription for health.

CIMSPA Endorsement

This programme is endorsed by The Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA) for Health Navigator, Gym Instructor, and Personal Trainer. This endorsement demonstrates the University's commitment to ensuring students' teaching and learning is aligned to industry standards. For a student to register with CIMSPA and arrange certification for professional standards gained during this degree, a small administration charge would be required.
