University of Bath

Degree level: Undergraduate

Sport and Exercise Science with professional placement or study abroad

Course summary

Develop your biomechanics, physiology and psychology knowledge. Explore and understand how humans function in sport, physical activity and health environments. This degree has three core strands:

  • Biomechanics: explore how humans create and control movement including athletes’ technique
  • Physiology: learn about the structure, function, regulation and performance of bodily systems
  • Psychology: examine the role of thoughts, feelings and behaviours in sport and exercise settings
Through these core strands, you'll apply your knowledge to sports performance and exercise participation. This will develop your understanding of the relevance of sport and exercise science to current practice. Along with the core study of biomechanics, physiology and psychology, examples of other topics you will cover include: -biochemistry -motor control -nutrition and metabolism -research methods -sports medicine -strength and conditioning In Year 1, you'll develop your functional anatomy knowledge and link it to basic concepts of biomechanics. You’ll build on your understanding of human physiology and psychology, and their application to sport and exercise. You will also develop your skills in research design and statistics. Through Year 2, you'll advance your knowledge of biomechanics and psychology, and explore the impact of nutrition on sport, exercise and health. You’ll apply your biomechanics, physiology and psychology knowledge in the context of sport and exercise medicine, and develop practical skills that relate to sport and exercise science data collection and interpretation. BSc route In your final year, you'll design and carry out a year-long research project and study in-depth issues in sport and exercise science. You’ll also be able to tailor your profile towards specific disciplines and choose an area of interdisciplinary study. MSci route In your final two years, you will design and carry out an extended, independent research project and study advanced units covering key topics in sport and exercise science at master’s level. You’ll also be able to tailor your profile towards specific disciplines and choose an area of interdisciplinary study.
