BSc Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences
Course overview
This is a three-year, full-time programme for anyone passionate about sports, physical activity, and exercise, and who wants to use science to promote health. Students will get a practical understanding of sport, health, and exercise sciences, with plenty of hands-on experience in real situations. Students will discover how physical activity and exercise can help prevent, manage, and treat various physical and mental health issues. They will also learn about using technology to promote health.
The programme is very practical, with learning taking place in special laboratories for studying how the body moves (biomechanics), how it functions (physiology), and how the mind works (psychology). Students' progress will be assessed through practical workshops, essays, presentations, and lab reports. While there are written exams, they'll never count for more than half of the student's grade in any subject.
