Course Overview

This course is designed to enable you to help people to achieve their potential by applying scientific principles to the way the body functions during sport and exercise. The multi-disciplinary and applied nature of this degree aims to prepare you for a career in sport or exercise, including scientific support, exercise training, health promotion, and rehabilitation. In the first two years of this course, your learning is underpinned by the three key pillars of exercise physiology, psychology, and biomechanics, reflecting developments within the industry. You will have the opportunity to learn how the healthy human body works during exercise, how the body responds to training, as well as how sport and physical activity promote health. In the final year, there is an independent research project as well as the opportunity to specialize in an area of Sport and Exercise Science. This course is currently endorsed by the British Association for Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES) and has been mapped against their accreditation framework, which covers practical ability in laboratory techniques, reflective practice, the theoretical basis of the physiology and psychology of sports and exercise.
