The aim of the BSc (Hons) Applied Sport and Exercise Sciences programme is to meet the needs of students wishing to follow a career within a sport and exercise environment. The programme provides insight, understanding and the necessary skills that are required to develop a range of ability athletes and teams, thereby examining sport and exercise from both performance and participative perspectives. There are opportunities to engage with community and social enterprise activities, allowing students to gain experience and develop vocational skills. The programme has five strands running through it; Sport Physiology Sport Psychology Performance Analysis / Biomechanics Strength and Conditioning Research Skills The programme looks to provide a solid base for students wishing to follow careers in this exciting area, as well as facilitating pathways into postgraduate study. The programme has additional, free of charge, integrated qualifications embedded within it: Level 2 Gym Instructor, Level 3 Personal Trainer, Level 3 Exercise Referral, Hudl Sportscode Scripting Levels 1 & 2. The programme has been designed with the BASES BUES UG endorsement scheme in mind. We hope to gain endorsement of the course in the near future. The programme will be taught by lecturers from a wide range of backgrounds who are experienced, applied practitioners (from sports psychologists to analysts, physiologists and coaches) and researchers within the fields of sport and exercise. Applied learning is essential to our vision. This means that learning is not limited to lecture halls and seminar rooms instead we choose to expose students to more practical, applied and hands-on work. Students will carry out fieldwork and engage in ‘real-world’ work experiences. Our range of external partners from sports clubs to Public Health Wales means that students will have lots of opportunities to gain practical experience alongside their studies, including work related modules that provide students with valuable contacts and experience before they enter the world of work. This greatly enhances student employability. We have an excellent support and personal tutor system to ensure students are supported throughout their studies.

A feature of the course will be the practical application of theory to applied environments, to develop links with the sport and exercise industry at all levels from community to elite levels. The content of the degree course will draw on key sports science principles, through three specific disciplines: Sport Physiology, Sport Psychology and Biomechanics / Performance Analysis. The programme is split over four years; Level 3, Level 4, Level 5 and Level 6. Students require 120 credits per year to progress and finally graduate. LEVEL 3 (FOUNDATION) This year aims to ready students for study at undergraduate level, providing necessary skills that promote success from level 4 onward. You will have 36 hours contact time per module. MODULES Introduction to Sport, Exercise Science and Human Performance (20 credits) The Performance Environment (20 credits) Introduction to Coaching Concepts (20 credits) Biomechanics in Sports Science (20 credits) The skills you need (20 credits) Contextual Studies (20 credits) LEVEL 4 (YEAR 2) In the second year students are introduced to all of the elements associated with sport science. Students gain an understanding of the link from theory to practice across a range of disciplines including psychology, physiology, performance analysis and Strength and Conditioning. You will have 36 hours contact time per module. MODULES Sport Psychology 1 (20 credits) Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology (20 credits) Introduction to Biomechanics and Performance Analysis (20 credits) Introduction to Research Methods (20 credits) Introduction to Strength and Conditioning (20 credits) Introduction to Nutrition (20 credits) LEVEL 5 (YEAR 3) Students in year three are encouraged to personalise their learning to a sport or sports of their choice. Students establish a strong understanding of the link between theory and practice whilst developing vocationally relevant skills. You will have 30 hours contact time per module. Opportunities exist to obtain externally recognised qualifications at this level, at no extra cost; Level 2 Gym Instructor & Hudl Sportscode Scripting Level 1. MODULES Sport Psychology 2 (20 credits) Physiology: Testing and Training (20 credits) Applied Biomechanics and Performance Analysis (20 credits) Applied Research Methods (20 credits) Strength and Conditioning in Practice (20 credits) Applied Practice Placement (20 credits) LEVEL 6 (YEAR 4) In the final year students explore an interest in one or more performance disciplines. This specialism enables students to develop both personal and professional skills essential for employment in a sport related industry. You will have 24 hours contact time per module. Opportunities exist to obtain externally recognised qualifications at this level, at no extra cost; Level 3 Exercise Referral, Level 3 Personal Trainer & Hudl Sportscode Scripting Level 2. MODULES Applied Sport Psychology (20 credits) Exercise Prescription and Referral for Clinical Populations (20 credits) Advanced Performance Analysis (20 credits) Dissertation (40 credits) Applied Professional Practice in Strength and Conditioning (20 credits - Option) Environmental Physiology (20 credits - Option) The information listed in this section is an overview of the academic content of the programme that will take the form of either core or option modules. Modules are designated as core or option in accordance with professional body requirements and internal academic framework review, so may be subject to change.

A wide range of assessment methods will be used to test your knowledge and understanding. This includes essays, portfolios, practical sessions, reports, presentations, online discussions, case study evaluations and exams. You will be assessed on your ability to describe, explain and analyse sport science concepts, use specialist video software, undertake lab-based work and conduct independent research. You will be expected to complete a dissertation as part of your final assessment. Teaching and Learning Wrexham Glyndŵr University is committed to supporting our students to maximise their academic potential. We offer workshops and support sessions in areas such as academic writing, effective note-making and preparing for assignments.
