Course summary
This course was previously offered by Writtle University College prior to the merger with ARU in March 2024. This course will run on the ARU Writtle campus. Studying for a degree with an integrated foundation year will offer you a supportive environment if you have been out of education for a few years or do not have the necessary UCAS points from your recent course of study. The foundation year (Year 0) will precede our standard 3-year degree course programmes and enables preparation for degree study. You'll study a range of modules that cover general academic skills, along with more subject-specific topics. Learn to support people with a range of health conditions to increase their levels of physical activity. Study a BSc (Hons) Sports Science with Exercise Referral degree at ARU Writtle. The course looks at the impact that health conditions can have on daily living, and related areas such as physiology, nutrition and psychology. You’ll review current exercise referral programmes, and explore the social identity approach to sport and exercise – which shifts the focus to the group or team as a way of encouraging participation. As a student at ARU Writtle, you’ll take part in practical, hands-on classes using specialist sports facilities and equipment. These include our Centre for Sport and Health, which is open to the public and where you may work with elite clubs and athletes, and members of the community.
