Sport & Exercise Science BSc (Hons)

This degree offers an exceptional blend of research-informed teaching and practical learning, based on the professional qualification and experience of our staff. The degree strikes a balance between learning about sport and exercise science from a professional practice perspective and learning science through sport and exercise. This approach equips students with the skills necessary to either follow a career in the sports industry or to transfer what they have learned into another sector of the economy, such as in the field of science.
This course is centred around physiology, biomechanics and psychology. Sport Science modules investigate how the body adapts to training and practice, movement analysis and athlete motivation. You will learn how to improve human performance at the highest levels in elite sport but also how to improve the health of individuals and communities through exercise. This includes examining the impact physical activity can have on preventing heart disease, obesity, dementia and depression.Our philosophy of sport promotes social justice and values participation over consumerism and is reflected in everything we do as we put the performer before the performance. Your learning will focus on keeping athletes healthy and developing excellence not elitism.
