In sport, everything is driven by results. That’s why sports scientists are seen as essential members of sports teams. This exciting, challenging four-year course will prepare you to transform athletes’ performance. It starts with a foundation year that gives you the science skills you need to succeed. Your course will have a new home in Compass House, which will extend our campus along East Road. You’ll have the latest technology at your fingertips and be able to collaborate with other students on innovative projects to hone your skills.

Sports science graduates are increasingly in demand around the world. There are wide-ranging employment opportunities for introducing people to sports, to developing them as participants, and even helping take them to the top. As a sports scientist, you could work: as an athlete-support scientist (with teams and national sports associations) as an exercise consultant as a performance analyst in sports development (for a school, a county or a national body) in the fitness industry as a clinical physiologist in applied research.
