If you are already working, or aspire to work, in sport, exercise and recreation, we will provide you with the opportunity to upgrade your professional expertise. You will study the traditional areas of physiology, psychology, biomechanics and sport and exercise nutrition. Two options are available in modules which allow a more detailed consideration of the contributions of biomechanics, exercise physiology, physiology, psychology and nutrition to the study of sport and exercise. Once enrolled on the course, you will have the opportunity to apply for a range of professional development opportunities. If you are successful these roles would provide you with an opportunity to gain experience in applied sport science working under supervision with Leeds Beckett's sports teams, sporting partners and elite performers. Our University is recognised as a leader in the field of sport and exercise science. The quality of our research is evident in the outstanding results achieved in the Research Assessment Exercise completed in 2014 in which our University came second in the country for sport and exercise science, leisure and tourism.

Your career choices may include leading sport science support programmes for teams and elite athletes, community sport, involvement in physical activity initiatives or interventions with the NHS and clinical populations, along with employment in national governing bodies and organisations.
