Sport and Exercise Science (Blended Learning)

This programme enables a higher level of multidisciplinary study of sport and exercise science. You will gain an advanced understanding of core principles in exercise physiology and nutrition, strength and conditioning and performance analysis. You will also complete a research project (dissertation) in the final year.

In Year 1, you'll develop your knowledge of key principles in the physical and social sciences and link this to applied sports and physical activity scenarios. You’ll build on your knowledge of human physiology and psychology and their application to sport and exercise. You will also develop your research, analysis and academic skills.

Through Year 2, you'll advance your knowledge of the core sport science disciplines and explore multidisciplinary studies applying your knowledge to sporting scenarios. You will also develop practical skills related to sport and exercise science data collection and interpretation.

In your final year, you'll design and carry out an individual research project and study in-depth issues in sport and exercise science, in a subject area of your choice. You will also complete more in-depth modules exploring the key areas of interdisciplinary approaches to sport and exercise science.
