This course aims to provide students with the technical, analytical, practical and professional knowledge, understanding and skills to enhance human performance across a range of domains (sport, occupational, health) using exercise. Your studies will count towards British Association of Sport and Exercise Science (BASES) accreditation. Our aim is to effectively prepare you for professional employment, so we focus on providing enhanced practical and professional skills through a combination of lectures, laboratory and field sessions and case studies. For example, we consider the effect of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and exercise in extreme conditions. Achievement of learning outcomes in the modules is assessed by a combination of coursework assignments, oral presentations, video presentations, a practical portfolio and a dissertation. Our programme provides opportunities for you to develop and demonstrate specialist academic and transferrable skills, such as good communication, problem-solving, critical analysis and the ability to work independently to a high standard. It has potential to open a variety of sport or fitness-related careers, such as a fitness manager for sports teams, a sport and exercise scientist, performance manager, exercise/physical activity referral officer and exercise physiologist. Alternatively, you may pursue roles in health promotion, the health industry, in research, teaching or working with individuals in the community and health sectors to assist in behaviour change and promote healthy lifestyles. The course's strong focus on research skills provides an ideal platform for further study at PhD level or undertaking research.
