The session will firstly introduce you to staff members, outline the programme, and provide the opportunity to meet other applicants. Attendees will then be provided the opportunity to use Nutritics, a leading dietary analysis software used by sport and health professionals worldwide. Nutritics allows the recording and analysis of an individual’s diet, ascertaining their daily energy, macronutrient, vitamin, mineral, and lipid component intake. This can be compared to the recommended ranges for optimal health and performance, based on your own personal characteristics and physical activity levels. Nutrition and Exercise as Medicine staff will help attendees to explore methods of improving their dietary intake, including simple food swaps.
You will also undertake field tests of fitness and health, including assessments of strength, flexibility, cardiorespiratory fitness, and blood pressure. Again, this can be compared to the recommended ranges for optimal health and fitness, and areas for improvement identified.

Accept your offer on UCAS
You can accept a maximum of two choices – one firm and one insurance. You can only have an insurance choice if your firm choice is a conditional offer. If you accept an unconditional offer as your firm choice then the place is guaranteed, so you cannot have an insurance choice. Make sure you know when the deadline is to accept your offer.
Accommodation
If you are planning to move away from home, you will need to start looking for suitable accommodation. The University accommodation will open for bookings around February. We will email you in advance to let you know when it will open. If you initially indicated on your UCAS application that you wanted to live at home and have changed your mind, then this isn't a problem at all. You can find further information on our accommodation here. There will be an opportunity to book your place, with Campus Living Villages, at the event.
Student Finance
Applications for student finance for courses starting September 2023 to 2024 will open soon. You can find further information here. Make sure you submit your application in plenty of time, so your funding is in place when you start your course.
