Course summary
Do you want to gain the skills and experience needed for a career as a health and exercise professional? Would you like to learn how health promotion and physical activity interventions can be used to help address the health challenges faced by society? The health and fitness industry is seeing significant growth as an increasing number of people recognise the importance of physical activity and exercise. This degree will prepare you to become a confident and efficient health and exercise professional ready for a career in public health and health promotion or within the growing number of jobs in the exercise and health sector that focus on promoting active and healthy lifestyles. This four-year course includes an initial full-time Foundation Year and offers an alternative route into university and gaining a degree. This route is for you if you do not have the necessary qualifications or don’t yet feel ready to begin degree-level study, or are returning to education and would like some support to get up to speed with learning in a university setting. The Foundation Year in Sport and Exercise will allow you to develop your academic skills and confidence as well as introduce you to key concepts, debates and skills that will support and inform your subsequent years of undergraduate study. Following successful completion of your Foundation Year, you’ll progress onto Year 1 of our Physical Activity, Exercise and Health Promotion BSc (Hons) degree.
