Extend your knowledge in your specialist area at postgraduate level with our honours programme. The Bachelor of Science (Honours) programme involves one year of full-time study, or two years of part-time study, after you have completed the requirements for the Bachelor of Science. After graduating with a BSc (Hons), it’s possible to progress to a Master of Science (MSc) degree. If you achieve First or Second Class First Division Honours in your BSc(Hons), you’ll be eligible for direct entry to a PhD. Exercise Sciences: Postgraduate study in Exercise Sciences is designed to provide you with the opportunity to achieve an advanced level of knowledge in a range of areas relevant to exercise, sport, health and rehabilitation science. You will gain academic and clinical experience required to work as allied health professionals and provide innovative practice across the health industry to assist people living with a wide range of health conditions and disease. You will gain advanced knowledge of the evidence-based processes associated with investigating and understanding how the brain and body function. Areas of research interests open to exploration include: Biomechanics and computational movement science Exercise physiology and metabolism Exercise and sport psychology Movement neuroscience and motor control Examples of research topics include: The development of artificial intelligence in gait classification for children with spastic cerebral palsy Investigating non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and thermoregulation during exercise The role of physical activity in adults with depression Understanding the effects of healthy ageing and stroke on neural circuits within the brain and the implications this may have for motor function and recovery Bachelor of Science (Honours) (BSc(Hons)) in Exercise Sciences 15 points: EXERSCI 705 Research in the Exercise Sciences 45 points from: EXERSCI 702 Projects in the Exercise Sciences EXERSCI 703 Cardiac Rehabilitation EXERSCI 704 Advanced Techniques in Biomechanics EXERSCI 706 Seminar in Advanced Exercise Physiology EXERSCI 708 Advanced Seminar in Movement Neuroscience EXERSCI 710 Exercise Rehabilitation EXERSCI 712 Advanced Exercise Prescription EXERSCI 713 Psychology of Active Living EXERSCI 714 Special Topics in the Exercise Sciences 15 points from 700-level courses in a related subject (approved by the Head of Department): Chemistry, Health Science, Health Psychology, Medical Science, Population Health, Psychology 45 points: EXERSCI 780 Dissertation
