Sport & Health
The BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science (Coaching) award provides a tailored degree-level sport science course for those interested in developing knowledge across a range of coaching-related disciplines such as physiology, nutrition, psychology and coaching.
This three-year full-time award provides the theoretical and developmental aspects of sport in conjunction with the practical skills needed for many of the varied careers that exist within the industry.
Combining the acquisition of practical and transferable skills with theoretical understanding, the award will produce graduates capable of applying their scientific knowledge to the pursuit of improving athletes. There are many research projects and ancillary industries targeted at athletes as either an individual, or part of a collection, or a team. This award will give the student a thorough understanding of the aspects that influence the athlete's welfare, performance needs and health.
