COURSE CURRICULUM

The Sport and Exercise Science degree offers a comprehensive curriculum that combines theoretical knowledge with practical application to prepare students for careers in sport, health, and rehabilitation. In the first year, students build foundational skills in biomechanics, exercise physiology, sport psychology, research methods, and exercise prescription, alongside critical analysis of scientific literature. This foundational year equips students with a solid understanding of human movement and the psychological factors that influence performance.In the second year, the focus deepens with modules in biomechanical analysis, advanced research techniques, contemporary sport psychology, physiological testing, and sports nutrition. Students also gain real-world experience through a placement in sport and exercise science, which helps bridge academic learning with professional practice. This year develops students’ abilities to apply scientific principles to optimize performance and understand the role of nutrition and monitoring in athletic success.The final year emphasizes specialization and independent research. Students explore biomechanical analysis in sport rehabilitation and contemporary issues in clinical sport and exercise science, addressing the challenges athletes face when recovering from injury. Modules in exercise physiology for sports performance and psychology of sports performance offer advanced insights into enhancing athletic outcomes. The year culminates in an independent investigational project, where students design and execute original research under supervision, synthesizing their learning into a substantial piece of academic work. Overall, the course provides students with a broad and in-depth understanding of sport and exercise science, combining practical skills and academic rigor to prepare them for diverse career paths in sports performance, rehabilitation, and health promotion.
