Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Sport and Exercise Science

Program Description Building on a passion for sport and exercise, Nottingham Trent University supports students to understand the how and the why of optimising athletic performance.

The course covers a wide range of disciplines including psychology, physiology, biomechanics, performance analysis and nutrition. Students will get hands-on and apply their knowledge to real-world challenges in Nottingham Trent University's excellent lab facilities.

Sport and exercise scientists improve performance, and Nottingham Trent University's sportsmen and women raise their game while keeping healthy and limiting the risk of injury. Just as sportsmen and women need the support of sport scientists, industry, healthcare, education and the public sector need conscientious, critical thinkers who know how to interact well with others, set and achieve goals and enthuse those around them.

More than 30 sport and leisure organisations support this course, including the British Olympic Association, Derby Rugby Club, and the British Association for Sport and Exercise Science. It’s these links that get students valuable industry experience alongside learning the theory.

Students will work with recreational and elite athletes and have the opportunity to take their Register of Exercise Professional (REPS) Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification alongside their degree.
