Strength & Conditioning (S&C) is the application of various sport and exercise sciences, which has at its heart the preparation of sports people for their varied and distinct activity needs. If you want to work with sports people to help them develop their readiness for sport or regain condition after a lay off or injury, this course is for you. S&C coaches work alongside a sports coach to assist in designing specific programmes that will address the particular needs of the athlete, team and sport. S&C is therefore about more than lifting weights - it encompasses the entire development of the athlete and what is needed to improve physical performance. This new and exciting course will develop your skills in applying physiology, biomechanics, psychology and aspects of sports medicine to the safe and effective planning and delivery of strength and conditioning sessions for both individual athletes and groups of performers from a variety of sports. You will have access to a wide range of outstanding sports facilities and sports science laboratories, in addition to the state of the art strength & conditioning suite within the British Judo Centre of Excellence on the Walsall Campus.
The course is accredited by Skills Active/Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs), and completion of aspects of the course allows you to gain REPs qualifications in addition to your degree. REPs is an independent, public register which recognises the qualifications and expertise of exercise instructors in the UK. REPs provides a system of regulation for instructors and trainers to ensure that they meet the health and fitness industry’s agreed National Occupational Standards. This provides assurance and confidence to the public and employers that all professionals on the Register are appropriately qualified and have the knowledge, competence and skills to perform their role effectively.
The additional qualifications that you will gain alongside your degree are the REPs L2 Gym Instructor and L3 Personal Trainer. You will develop expertise in a range of issues relating to personal training including nutrition, anatomy, advanced training techniques, and designing/delivering personal training sessions. On completion of the BSc (Hons) Strength & Conditioning you will therefore benefit from both a degree, and additional qualifications that are recognised within the health and fitness industry.

Potential Career Paths
The Government’s ‘Sporting Future’ strategy identified that sport and physical activity is central to life in the UK. It has the power to transform people’s wellbeing and create a fitter, healthier and happier nation. The transformative power of sport has never been more important as the growing levels of health problems and conditions associated with physical inactivity cost the nation over £7 billion each year. Sport and physical activity also contributes approximately £40 billion to the UK economy each year, with one million people employed in the sport and physical activity sectors.
With the significant role that sport plays in the health of the nation, and its contribution to the economy, it is no surprise that supporting this sector is considered crucial by the Government. This is clearly illustrated by Sport England’s ‘Towards an Active Nation’ strategy that will see nearly £325 million invested in increasing sport participation from 2016-2021. The strategy focuses on the benefits that sport can bring to people and to society, with the aim of enhancing physical wellbeing, mental wellbeing, individual development, social and community development and economic development. Investment will target key areas such as:
As a graduate of the BSc (Hons) Strength & Conditioning degree you will be able to apply the knowledge, practical skills, and industry qualifications you have gained in many of the areas above. The course will prepare you to work in the developing Strength and Conditioning industry, which continues to gain recognition in the UK. There are an increasing number of Strength and Conditioning roles within high performance sport, and with the majority of sports looking at Long Term Athlete Development, there are also many opportunities for Strength and Conditioning coaches to work across the spectrum at all ages and levels of performance.

The BSc (Hons) in Strength & Conditioning will also prepare you for UK Strength & Conditioning Association (UKSCA) accreditation, should you choose to pursue this.
