Program Overview

Our Sport and Exercise Science programme provides you with a comprehensive understanding of the physiological, biomechanical, and psychological factors that influence athletic performance.

Students will get the opportunity to study a blend of essential and elective modules in traditional sports, exercise, and health sciences, offering you the flexibility to shape your academic journey based on your personal interests and career aspirations.

This programme focuses on the principles of Sport and Exercise, including:

  • Physiology,
  • Anatomy,
  • Psychology,
  • Biomechanics,
  • Applied aspects of these disciplines such as elite sport performance and strength and conditioning.

By studying Sport and Exercise Science, you’ll explore evidence-based strategies for promoting health and preventing lifestyle-related diseases and the impact this has on our daily lives.

You’ll learn to plan, conduct, and analyse results of practical work in the field and laboratory. This is crucial as you apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios. You’ll use a range of media to critically analyse and interpret scientific data.

As well as developing expertise in sport and exercise science, our programme builds sought after soft skills, such as problem-solving, communication skills, and practical IT skills. It will also help you understand the vital role of a sport scientist in professional fields including performance sport, exercise prescription and adherence, research and public health.
