Wrexham , Wales ,United Kingdom

BSc (Hons) Applied Sports & Exercise Sciences (with Foundation Year)

The programme has additional, free of charge, integrated qualifications embedded within it: Level 2 Gym Instructor, Level 3 Personal Trainer, Level 3 Exercise Referral, Hudl Sportscode Scripting Levels 1 & 2.
The programme has been designed with the BASES BUES UG endorsement scheme in mind. We hope to gain endorsement of the course in the near future.
The programme is taught by lecturers from a wide range of backgrounds who are experienced, applied practitioners (from sports psychologists to analysts, physiologists and coaches) and researchers within the fields of sport and exercise.
Applied learning is essential to our vision. This means that learning is not limited to lecture halls and seminar rooms instead we choose to expose students to more practical, applied and hands-on work.  Students will carry out fieldwork and engage in ‘real-world’ work experiences.
Our range of external partners from sports clubs to Public Health Wales means that students will have lots of opportunities to gain practical experience alongside their studies, including work-related modules that provide students with valuable contacts and experience before they enter the world of work. This greatly enhances student employability.
We have an excellent support and personal tutor system to ensure students are supported throughout their studies.
*This course is part of a subject area rated 2nd in Wales for satisfaction with teaching in the Sports Science subject league tables, The Guardian University Guide 2022.
