Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Business Management and Sport and Exercise Science (BM11)

The world of Business Management is fast-moving and dynamic: Business organizations are facing unprecedented change and complex challenges both within the UK and globally. This demands that students who enter the business sector understand the dynamics of the business environment and how organizations operate in increasingly uncertain situations. The Business Management degree at Liverpool Hope University examines small to medium-sized enterprises to global multi-national companies – public, private, not-for-profit with a focus on business principles, organizational dynamics and management processes.

This in-depth degree gives students the opportunity to understand how businesses operate and the ethical and social impact they have on communities. An experienced, student-focused team will develop their understanding of this business context and develop the critical business skills and transferable skills that future employers will demand.

Studying Sport and Exercise is a gateway to understanding how to maximize sports performance, how people learn skills and the importance of regular exercise to health and longevity. Students will study from a multidisciplinary perspective, focusing on psychology, physiology, biomechanics, performance analysis, nutrition and strength & conditioning. By the end of their studies they will confidently and independently develop training programs and interventions that will promote peak performance, the learning of new skills and reduce the burden of disease.

Students can study in Liverpool Hope University's multi-million pound, state-of-the-art Health Science Building and Sports Complex, incorporating dedicated teaching laboratories and research space. This facility houses ultra-modern equipment where they will learn to conduct complete physiological, psychological and biomechanical profiles of human sports performance using breath-by-breath expired gas analysis, blood analysis, vascular and cardiac screening, body composition analysis, eye-tracking, electromyography and motion capture to name but a few.

Students will leave with the skills to become a sports scientist working with elite performers or clinical populations, the basis to become a sports coach, or enter the teaching profession and train the next generation of sport scientists. They will be taught by tutors who are active researchers at the cutting edge of Sport & Exercise Science, and whom regularly publish their work to international audiences.
