Food & Nutritional Sciences and Sport & Exercise Science

SPORT & EXERCISE SCIENCE

Study Sport & Exercise Science at Liverpool Hope University and get practical, research‑led training in physiology, biomechanics and sport psychology. You’ll learn in the state‑of‑the‑art Health & Sport Sciences complex using breath‑by‑breath gas analysis, motion capture, EMG and body‑composition testing to build real skills employers want.

The course is endorsed by the Chartered Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (CASES) and mixes labs, fieldwork and small‑group teaching so you can design training programmes, assess performance and support public‑health activity. You’ll also have placement and insight opportunities across the North West to boost your CV and network with local clubs and NHS partners to help you build a portfolio of knowledge and skills that employers and postgraduate courses want.  

FOOD & NUTRITIONAL SCIENCES

Food and nutrition shape everything from your energy levels to long‑term health, and this degree lets you explore that impact in a hands‑on, career‑focused way. You’ll study how food affects the body across life stages, from female health and pregnancy to cardiometabolic illnesses, while developing practical lab skills that employers look for. You’ll work in industry‑standard facilities, including a sensory analysis suite, giving you real experience of food testing, product development and nutritional assessment. 

What makes this course at Liverpool Hope stand out is its flexibility: it’s the only Food & Nutrition degree you can combine with a second subject, helping you tailor your studies to your interests and future career goals. You will also build a strong sense of community through small-group teaching and activities like visits to Plas Caerdeon, our outdoor education centre. 

Whether you are passionate about health, sport, food innovation or helping people make better lifestyle choices, this degree gives you the scientific knowledge, practical experience and confidence to shape a healthier future, for yourself and for others.
