About this course
You’ll study strength and conditioning in each of the three years of study alongside a broad range of subjects related to sport and exercise science.
You’ll use industry leading technology in the analysis of sport in our dedicated Sports Science Laboratory, Movement Analysis Suite and Strength and Conditioning Suite.
You’ll study the core components of sport and exercise sciences, including psychology, physiology, biomechanics and research methods. Unlike many other sport and exercise sciences courses, you’ll also learn the practical techniques required to become a strength and conditioning coach. You’ll explore a range of theories and concepts, but you’ll also develop key laboratory skills in a range of disciplines in order to improve the performance of athletes.
By the time you graduate, you’ll not only be ready for a successful career in the sports industry, you’ll also have been able to develop highly transferable business and management skills that will prepare you for a wide range of graduate roles.
Why study with us?
- Develop a wide range of skills underpinned by a scientific approach.
- Apply what you’ve learnt in practical workshops and professional work placements.
- Choose your path. At the end of the first year, you can continue with Strength and Conditioning Science or transfer to Exercise, Health and Nutrition, Sport and Exercise Sciences or Sport and Exercise Sciences (Sports Nutrition), giving you flexibility in your career options.
