Under their guidance, you will develop your own practical skills in our dedicated sport and exercise laboratories. You will study the psychological, physiological and biomechanical foundations of sport and exercise, and develop an understanding of how these are important in optimising the training regime of sports competitors and exercise participants. You will develop a scientific understanding of how the human body moves, exercises and performs sport, and an appreciation of how sport and exercise science can improve human health and function, prevent disease or injury, or increase athletic performance. Upon graduation, you will be well prepared to support athletes, promote physical activity and health, and deliver exercise programmes. This course is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology and The British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES), the professional body for sport and exercise sciences in the UK.
