Sport and Exercise Sciences 2012 Entry

Honours Degree

This course will give you a broad and varied programme of study and is ideal for those with career ambitions in sport or exercise.

You’ll gain an insight into the underpinning disciplines of sport and exercise including anatomy, biomechanics, philosophy, physiology, psychology and sociology. These discipline areas lead to focused modules later in the programme, for example, Psychology of Sport Performance.

We have strong links with the local community including local sports clubs, schools, general practitioners and leisure providers. You’ll work closely with staff members who are accredited by the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES), some of whom provide support to sports performers and health and leisure providers.

While studying this professional programme, you’ll also be able to use our purpose-built sport and exercise laboratory and sporting facilities. Not only does the programme lay the foundations for further study and research, it also opens doors into the sports industry. Sport Scholarships are available in a range of sports.

The course is endorsed by the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences, the professional body for sport and exercise sciences.
