BSc (Hons) Sports and Exercise Science

The Sports and Exercise Science BSc (Hons) course offered by Lancaster University is designed for students who are passionate about the science behind sports, health, and human performance. Through a combination of practical application and theoretical knowledge, students gain valuable insights into the way the human body functions during exercise to enable optimum performance.Course Content: The course emphasizes on the practical application of theoretical know-how in areas such as Physiology, Biomechanics, and Psychology. The first year provides a strong foundation in human physiology, biomechanics, skills acquisition, and sport psychology. In the second year, students will get opportunity to develop their skills in laboratory and field-based testing of human performance. In the final year, students will undertake an independent research project on a topic of their choice, and use their advanced knowledge and understanding to take a more applied focus towards individual aspects of sports and exercise science. Key Modules: Some of the modules students will explore include Human Anatomy and Physiology, Sports and Exercise Psychology, Biomechanics, Core Skills for Sports and Exercise Scientists, and Therapy in Sport.Accreditations: The course is endorsed by the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES).Future Careers: Graduates can look forward to a range of future careers including Exercise Physiologist, Fitness Centre Manager, Secondary School Teacher, Sports Administrator, Sports Coach, Sports Development Officer, and Sports Therapist.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
