Course summary
Help improve people's sporting performance and health by studying human movement and activity on this CASES-endorsed sport and exercise science degree. Study behavioural, physical, and life sciences on this practice-centric sport and exercise science degree. Your passion for understanding the science behind sport performance, health, and physical activity will drive your career in helping people of all physical abilities. As part of this course, you’ll:
- Gain an evidence-based appreciation of biomechanics, nutrition, physiology, and psychology, and their use within sport and exercise environments
- Take part in practical sessions examining oxygen consumption, blood lactate and glucose concentration, body composition and dietary analysis, ECG, power output, human motion analysis, and exercise cognition
- Use scientific processes to question and problem solve, investigating why athletes might not respond to training as expected, planning dietary strategies for the general population, or using movement analysis to understand why athletes might get injured
- An environmental chamber which simulates the effects of diverse climatic conditions on physical performance
- A human movement laboratory and state of the art instrumented treadmill which allows simultaneous motion capture and force measurements to analyse gait and other forms of human movement
- A DXA bone scanner, where you’ll be able to measure the density and mineral composition of the skeletal structure
- Custom-built igloo simulation and visualisation facility. You’ll recreate the demands of sport, exercise and physical activity settings to provide an applied learning environment in sport and exercise psychology
- A strength and conditioning suite where you’ll learn and coach others in the performance of weightlifting, plyometric and agility activities
- You’ll be employable - 92.3% of BSc (Hons) Sport & Exercise Science graduates in work or further study 15 months after graduation*
- CASES-endorsed - this course is endorsed by the Chartered Association for Sport and Exercise Science (CASES)
- World-class facilities - study in our £45m sports building, which boasts industry standard environmental chambers, sport performance and biochemistry labs
- 98% of students on BSc (Hons) Sport & Exercise Science were positive about the way teaching staff explain things**
- We’re the best in our field - learn from academics and researchers renowned in the sport and exercise science industry

Additional entry requirements
Criminal records declaration (DBS/Disclosure Scotland)
An enhanced criminal history (DBS) check maybe required for certain modules which involve working with children and/or vulnerable others. The DBS in the UK is currently not able to conduct overseas criminal record checks, therefore international applicants, those without British Citizenship and British Citizens with a significant period of overseas residency will therefore require a criminal records check or certificate of good conduct from their home/overseas country before undertaking work with children and/or vulnerable others
Student Outcomes
