Course Summary

Sport and exercise science has an important role in our current society, ranging from improving sports performance in elite athletes to reducing the burden of disease associated with physical inactivity. By improving our understanding of how the body and mind respond and adapt to exercise, we can develop new research-based approaches to enhance performance and health. You will gain an understanding of how the body and mind respond to and learn from, the particular demands placed on them during sport and exercise. You will study four core disciplines: exercise physiology, biomechanics, motor control, and sport and exercise psychology. You will explore how these can be applied across a range of settings to optimise sports performance, improve health and disease outcomes, and inform rehabilitation strategies. **Course highlights** - Top 15 in the UK for sport science – (Complete University Guide 2021 & The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2021). - 92% student satisfaction for sports and exercise science – (NSS 2020). - Number 1 in the UK for ‘world-leading’ research in the area of sports science and physiology (REF 2014). - Develop hands-on practical skills in our state-of-the-art physiology, biomechanics and motor control laboratories, including the use of our environmental chamber and motion capture system. - Gain experience working with British sports teams through our year in industry programme.

Standard Qualification Requirements

BSc: AAB Including a science subject. Critical thinking and general studies excluded. We accept the following science subjects: biology, human biology, chemistry, maths, physics and physical education. Applicants taking a Science A-level (in England) will be required to achieve a pass in the practical element in addition to the standard A-level grade requirement. When an applicant is taking the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) or the Cambridge International Project Qualification (Cambridge IPQ) this can be considered alongside A-levels and may attract an alternative offer in addition to the standard offer. If you are taking A-levels, this would be ABB at A-level and grade A in the EPQ.

BSc: Pass 60 credits overall with 45 credits at Level 3, graded at D39M6P0 including distinctions in biology and mathematics or chemistry. Accept Access courses in Applied Science and Science. Will also consider (depending on subject content): • biochemical sciences • biological and environmental science • biological and health science • biological sciences • biosciences • combined sciences • environmental science • life and biological science • life science • medical and health science professions • natural sciences • physical & natural sciences.

BSc: Advanced Higher: 5 x Highers AABBB, with AB in 2 Advanced Highers including a science subject. General studies and critical thinking excluded. We accept the following science subjects: biology, human biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics. Scottish Higher: Scottish Highers not accepted on their own.

Applicants offering an EPQ or IPQ qualification will receive a standard offer, as shown above, plus an alternative offer. The alternative offer would be ABB including a science subject plus grade A in EPQ / IPQ.

BSc: 34 points (17 at Higher Level) including 6 in a science or Sports, Exercise and Health Science.

BSc: Applicants with BTEC Diploma or Extended Diploma qualifications must have at least one science or psychology at A-level. Applicants with BTEC Subsidiary Diploma qualifications must have at least 2 A-Levels and at least one of these should be in a science subject. Preferred BTEC qualification subjects include Applied Science or Sport and Exercise Science. Offers would be in the range A/B in the A-level subjects and Distinctions in the BTEC qualification.

BSc: H2,H2,H2,H2,H3,H3 including H2 science (biology, mathematics, physics or chemistry).

BSc: D3/D3/M1 including D3 in a science subject. Global Perspectives excluded. When an applicant is taking Global Perspectives this can be considered alongside Pre-U subjects and may attract an alternative offer in addition to the standard offer. This would be D3/M1/M1 and grade D3 in Global Perspectives.
