Whether you want to analyse physical performance, support sporting professionals, or improve fitness in others, sport and exercise offers a wide, diverse choice of rewarding careers.
Our graduates make a positive impact on the world. From helping nations and teams win international medals to using sport in the community to improve the lives of ordinary people, including children and the elderly, and rehabilitating injured players.
Capitalising on our network of international partners and industry contacts, courses bridge your academic learning with hands-on experience of what is happening in the real world. We offer guaranteed real-world work experience and work-related training sessions and scenarios.
You will be taught the latest theory, practice and insight – including our own world-leading research – by a teaching team of sport educators and industry practitioners. Our experienced visiting fellows, for example, currently include performance swimming coach Louise Graham and sport coaching and exercise scientist Ian Freeman, among others. The quality of teaching is evidenced by accreditation from leading industry bodies, including the Society of Sports Therapists and BPS, endorsement from BASES, and BUCS participation.
