B.Sc. Applied Sport Science

Applied Sport Science is the study of human responses to sport.

The programme includes courses on physiology, biomechanics, sport psychology, and the biochemistry of exercise and skills acquisition.

You will develop an understanding of the value and purpose of sport in society and the factors that affect participation and performance in sport and exercise.

You will study the key disciplines of sport and exercise science and select from a broad range of option courses available from across the University.
