What you'll learn

The Master programme is an extension of the IOPN Diploma and offers students the opportunity to complete two additional modules. Click the (+) button for a summary of the modules within the Master programme.

 

Module 5: Research Methods in Sports Nutrition
This module aims to have students formulate research questions using the PICO framework, acquire relevant scientific evidence and grey literature, and critically appraise these various forms of evidence in the context of their validity and practical relevance. Moreover, students will develop skills in data collection, statistical analysis, and scientific writing. By the end of this module, students will have produced a short-form research review using contemporary critical appraisal frameworks, a long-form literature review and research proposal for their Module 6 case study project.
Module 6: Case based project
The aim of this module is for the student to conduct an in-depth, longitudinal analysis and intervention plan of a real-world case subject that aims to support their health and performance. Students should demonstrate a comprehensive theoretical and practical understanding of sports nutrition that corresponds to some of the core learning outcomes covered in the previous five modules. Students should demonstrate an understanding of evidence-based practice by planning, implementing, and reflecting on their intervention plan.
