You will study very broad subjects in your foundation year, which is designed to prepare you for a range of courses, not just one particular BSc degree. Our practice-based, innovative Sport and Exercise Nutrition with a Foundation Year course will provide you with the underpinning scientific knowledge of nutrition and physiology for sports performance, exercise and health. You'll study nutrition and exercise at both ends of the spectrum, from assessing professional sports teams to health-based clients with specific nutritional issues. It's a chance for you to gain experience in developing nutritional strategies that aid performance, health and wellbeing. By studying a foundation year in Sport and Physical Activity, your first year will be spent learning a wide range of broad subject areas which then open up opportunities for you to specialise further in your next year – which would be the first year of a full degree programme. You will study very broad subjects in your foundation year, which is designed to prepare you for a range of courses and not just one particular BSc degree. So although you are studying a BSc in a specific course – BSc Sport and Exercise Nutrition – the foundation year sets you up for a number of other possible degrees starting the following year. It may be that you don't end up doing a degree in precisely the same subject as your foundation year. This flexibility is one of the great things about the foundation year category - Sport and Physical Activity, allowing you to find out more about your interests and talents before focusing on a three year degree. The foundation year also helps us at BCU to make sure we help to match you to the degree that fits you best.
