Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Law and Sport and Exercise Science (AL29)

Students will study Law with Liverpool Hope University and they will gain an understanding of the fundamental principles, theories and key ideas that underpin the law in England and Wales. They also learn about the way Public Law provides the legal framework within which government and administration functions, the structure of Law and Government under which people live, and the values of democracy, rule of law and constitutionalism that underpin that structure.

Liverpool Hope University aims to produce graduates who do not merely know or know how to, but understand why things are as they are and how they could be different. It is about gaining a deep approach to the subject, in which students try to relate ideas in one subject to those in others, to understand what they read, questioning material, making links and pursuing lines of inquiry out of interest.

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.
