Course Summary

The Sport and Exercise Science degree at Lincoln was developed to meet both the student demand and the growing reputation of sport and exercise science and the role that sport and physical activity can play in improving the health of the nation. The programme is a multidisciplinary degree that aims to develop students’ knowledge, understanding and practical skills in the key areas of physiology, biomechanics and psychology — so they can understand their impact on sports performance, physical activity and health. This degree reflects current research-informed teaching and innovation within the sector. Students have access to specialist equipment, housed within the Human Performance Centre, enabling cutting edge research, assessment and training of health, physical fitness and technique.

Course Details - Modules

The first year of the course is designed to provide students with an opportunity to develop an extensive understanding of sport and exercise science theory, while year two offers the opportunity to convert theoretical knowledge into practice. During the third year, students can choose modules based around their own interests and career goals, such as biomechanical analysis, sport and exercise nutrition, personal training and strength and conditioning. Students have the opportunity to undertake applied assessments and work placement opportunities in order to apply their learning in a real-world setting and to gain valuable work experience. For the most up to date module information, please visit the course page for this programme on our website. Timetabling arrangements may limit the availability of some optional modules to some students. As the options often reflect staff research interests, they may alter over time due to staff availability.

Additional Fee Information

For each course students may find that there are additional costs. These may be with regard to the specific clothing, materials or equipment required, depending on their subject area. Some courses provide opportunities for students to undertake field work or field trips. Where these are compulsory, the cost for the travel, accommodation and meals may be covered by the University and so is included in the fee. Where these are optional students will normally (unless stated otherwise) be required to pay their own transportation, accommodation and meal costs. With regards to text books, the University provides students who enrol with a comprehensive reading list and our extensive library holds either material or virtual versions of the core texts that students are required to read. However, students may prefer to purchase some of these for themselves and will therefore be responsible for this cost.
