2-Term Pathway - International Foundation Year in Health and Life Sciences - Continue to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Sport and Exercise Science

The International Foundation Year in Health and Life Sciences provides international students with a structured pathway towards the BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science degree. The programme is designed to develop foundational knowledge in health and life sciences while preparing students for undergraduate study in sport and exercise science. Students explore relevant scientific concepts related to human health, exercise, physical activity and sport while developing essential academic skills including research, academic writing, communication, critical thinking, problem-solving and independent learning. The programme also helps students become familiar with the UK higher education environment, including university teaching, learning and assessment methods. Through structured academic support, students can build confidence and develop the knowledge required for successful progression. After successfully completing the foundation stage and meeting the required progression criteria, students can continue to the BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science degree. The undergraduate programme can provide opportunities to explore areas such as exercise physiology, sports performance, physical activity, health and applied exercise science. This pathway is suitable for international students who are interested in sport, exercise, fitness and health and want to develop a strong academic foundation before progressing to undergraduate study and future careers in sport, exercise, health and related sectors.
