Our expert lecturers are active researchers and have vast experience in sports management and policy, sport marketing and leadership, nutrition, sport psychology and sport science. Their research underpins our teaching and ensures you learn about the latest thinking in the field.
You'll study key areas including sport industries, sports marketing, sports leadership, sport and exercise psychology, anatomy, biomechanics and physiology, as well as exercise prescription, referral and rehabilitation for special and clinical populations. You'll also develop your research skills in advance of undertaking your research project, which give you the opportunity to use our excellent facilities, equipment and resources.
Alongside your research project, in your final year you can select modules to tailor your studies more specifically towards your career aspirations, for example by completing a work placement module.
Tailor your degree to suit you by spending a year working in industry in the UK or abroad. Taken between your second and final years, a Year in Industry will give you the chance to put into practice the skills you've learnt and gain further valuable experience of real-world applications of sport and exercise science. Many placements pay a salary and you will gain relevant experience, skills and confidence, which will benefit you in your final-year studies and when applying for jobs after graduation.
