Exercise serves as a powerful tool for enhancing elite athletic performance and combating conditions like obesity, cancer, and depression. Our BSc (Hons) in Health and Exercise Science equips students with expertise in using exercise to treat health issues, adapting training for those with limitations, and integrating knowledge of human biology, physiology, and psychology. The programme explores the body's structure, function, and responses to exercise, including modifications for clinical conditions, while building a strong foundation in scientific principles and advanced understanding of physical, psychological, and environmental stressors in sports and health.In the final year, students undertake a specialised research project in their area of interest. Delivered by leading academics in a supportive setting informed by cutting-edge research, the course provides access to state-of-the-art facilities at our £26m Institute of Sport. Graduates gain practical, transferable skills for careers in sport science or healthcare, with options for professional placements to build real-world experience.
