Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Early Childhood and Sport and Exercise Science (CH02)

The undergraduate program in Early Childhood Studies provides a higher level of academic study that will extend students knowledge and understanding of children in their early years.

The Early Childhood team aims to provide a stimulating and supportive learning environment for all students through a high level of tutor support, access to exceptional University resources and engagement with Liverpool Hope University's multidisciplinary teaching team with wide experience in research, practice and policy in the field. Together with the vital ingredient of their commitment as a student, these elements will enrich their learning experience. The university also aims to enhance this where possible through engaging invited speakers and field visits to relevant spaces in Liverpool, a city rich in community connection and cultural experience.

Studying Sport and Exercise is a gateway to understanding how to maximize sports performance, how to 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 programme and interventions that will promote peak performance, the learning of new skills and reduce the burden of disease.

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. Students 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.
