Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Sport and Exercise Science with international or placement year

Program Overview

Our Sport and Exercise Science BSc is designed to challenge you to examine the fascinating role science plays within sport and exercise. As one of a handful of sport and exercise degree programmes delivered within a Faculty of Medicine in the UK, you will have the opportunity to study within an academically rigorous environment, that nurtures the merging of scientific knowledge, hands-on practical experience, and professional practice. Through a combination of theory and practice, this course will enable you to develop real-world, lab-based practical skills in preparation for employment in the sport, exercise, and health sector.

Sport and exercise scientists are in increasing demand given the efforts of health officials to encourage participation in exercise and physical activity, and the drive of professional athletes to maximise their potential.

What is Sport and Exercise Science?
Sport and Exercise Science is the application of the scientific principles to sport and exercise contexts. Sport and Exercise Scientists are interested in using these scientific principles to answer important questions that can have a significant and positive impact on individual performers, teams, and wider society. For example, sport and exercise scientists are interested in answering questions such as:

How do athletes prepare for competition?
What happens to the body during exercise?
Why are some injuries a common occurrence in certain sports?
How can physical activity support the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases?

In the first year of our Sport and Exercise Science degree, you will undertake a suite of compulsory modules focused on the core sport and exercise disciplines of anatomy, biomechanics, coaching, nutrition, and physiology, and a course specific skills module, designed to develop your academic, research and professional skills competences. Alongside this, there is the opportunity to undertake an optional module of your choice or participate in the university’s Global Challenges Pathway.

The second year builds upon the knowledge and practical experiences you have acquired, to start to explore the scientific applications underlying human engagement and performance in sports, exercise, and health-based activities. During this year, you will continue to study the disciplines of biomechanics and physiology through two discipline-specific 15-credit modules, alongside 30 credits of psychology-specific content. Again, you will have the opportunity to undertake a 15-credit optional module of your choice or continue your journey along the Global Challenges Pathway.

During the final year we will challenge your knowledge and skillset further, in order to encourage and nurture the experience and confidence needed to secure graduate employment. To facilitate this, you will complete five compulsory 15-credit modules and a 15-credit optional module. Alongside these this you will complete a 30-credit project. This yearlong project module allows you to combine your academic development with a personal area of interest, through a research project or case study, carried out with the support of a member of the academic team.

Work placement year
In an increasingly competitive job market, employers are seeking to recruit employees who have high-level knowledge, skills and an understanding of the workplace. Our programme offers the opportunity for you to gain familiarisation with the professional working environment, develop professional contacts and apply the skills and theories you have learnt.
