Mathematics and Sport Science, BSc (Hons), with study abroad

The BSc in Mathematics and Sports and Exercise Science, with a Year Abroad (UCAS code: GC17), is a four-year full-time programme that integrates the foundational principles of mathematics—essential for science, business, and technology—with the dynamic study of sports and exercise science, which explores human performance, ethics, psychology, nutrition, and participation in sports. This innovative course combines classical and contemporary theories across both fields, delivered by esteemed faculty including Dr Edwin Beggs, an expert in algebra and geometry, and Dr Nicholas Owen, a specialist in human biomechanics.The curriculum features core modules in mathematics, covering real and complex analysis, linear and abstract algebra, and in sports science, addressing anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and nutrition. Assessment includes a balance of exams, coursework, problem sheets, practical lab work, and group assignments to promote hands-on learning and comprehensive understanding.

The programme consists of a core of modules in Mathematics and Sports and Exercise Science covering key aspects of both subjects. The compulsory Mathematics modules cover the central topics of real and complex analysis alongside linear and abstract algebra. These topics provide students with a solid understanding of modern mathematics. The compulsory Sports and Exercise Science modules cover the key areas of anatomy and physiology, biomechanics and nutrition.
