What will I learn?

BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science is the study of human responses and adaptations to physical activity, exercise and sport. The course includes the study of physiology, including nutrition, biomechanics and psychology.

Strength and conditioning can be considered a ‘fourth pillar’, in that it combines the three other subject disciplines and considers how we apply our knowledge to improve the strength and conditioning of people ranging from patients in a clinical healthcare setting, to elite athletes in performance sport. We split each of the specialist areas of study into two main themes: (1) sports performance, and (2) exercise, physical activity, health and wellbeing. This degree is accredited by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), which means your programme adheres to the highest standards of excellence.

By studying with us, you benefit from our enviable industry connections with elite sport and exercise science companies such as STATSports, with whom we are a global university partner. We have outstanding specialist facilities in our Human Performance Laboratories and Performance Analysis Suite, where you can develop employment-ready practical skills and apply the knowledge you learn on the degree.
