What the college says

The Sport and Exercise Science course is a scientific based programme that prepares you for work in sport, or progression on to Higher Education to study a sport science related degree such as Physical Education, Sports Therapy, Sports Psychology, Exercise Physiology or Sports Biomechanics when combined with other relevant A levels.

It is taken as part of an A level programme, where you study the course alongside three other A levels.

What you need to get on

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?
