Sport and Exercise Sciences, BSc (Hons)

Durham University's BSc in Sport and Exercise Sciences examines the connections between exercise, performance, and health, drawing on interdisciplinary expertise to address traditional and emerging issues. The curriculum provides a strong foundation in physiology, psychology, physical activity, nutrition, and health, with options to explore related fields like sociology of sport. Emphasizing employability, it includes opportunities for placements, open modules, and international study, alongside skill development in research and practical settings.Core modules progress from introductory topics in year one to advanced research, physiology, and psychology in later years, ending with a dissertation on a specialized topic. Assessment combines coursework, practicals, and the dissertation, which accounts for one-third of final-year marks, encouraging critical analysis and real-world application in sport and exercise contexts.
