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

The International Year Zero in Health and Life Sciences provides international students with a supportive pathway towards the BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science degree. The programme combines foundational knowledge in health and life sciences with the academic and transferable skills required for successful undergraduate study. Students develop an understanding of subjects related to human health, exercise, physical activity and sport while strengthening their skills in academic writing, research, communication, critical thinking, problem-solving and independent learning. The programme also supports students in adapting to the UK higher education environment and becoming familiar with university teaching, learning and assessment methods. Through structured learning and academic guidance, students can build confidence and develop effective study skills before progressing to their chosen degree. Successful completion of the International Year Zero and meeting the required progression conditions enables students to continue to the BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science degree. The undergraduate programme can explore exercise physiology, sports performance, health, physical activity and applied exercise science. This pathway is suitable for international students interested in sport, exercise, health and fitness who require additional academic preparation before beginning undergraduate study and developing future opportunities across sport, exercise, health and related professional environments.
