What the college says

Sport and exercise is a rapidly expanding global industry and levels of public fitness and participation in physical activity are issues on the political agenda. For this reason, sport and exercise scientists are in increasing demand, particularly given the drive of professional athletes to maximise their potential. This is an ideal course for students who have an interest in both practical performance and the theoretical aspects of sport. It covers factors that affect both participation and optimal performance in physical activity and sport and enhances students’ understanding of the factors that affect their own performance and that of others
