Course introduction: This suite of courses ensures that you’ll have a firm grounding in the three core sciences that make up Sport and Exercise Science – Exercise Physiology, Sport Psychology, and Biomechanics. In addition, you’ll have the opportunity to decide whether to specialise or to retain a broad overview of the subject. This allows you to take a holistic view of the different aspects that contribute to performance in sport and exercise and, with the very wide range of practical skills that you will have developed, be able to apply your knowledge to the benefit of the performer. Please note we are welcoming applications directly to Year 2 and Year 3 only. There is no entry to Year 1 of this course.
