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.
Our state-of-the-art facilities mirror the settings found in the best professional environments and you will leave university with valuable skills demanded by both elite sport performance science, and healthcare science employers. Some of our recent graduates have secured work for specialist, high-profile organisations, thanks to the expertise attained during their studies. These include Arsenal FC, Manchester United FC, Addenbrookes and Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, and elite sport science support roles in the USA.
You could be one of our students who work on real industry research projects, on the final year Dissertation module, which will further enhance your employability prospects.
