Exercise and Health Science is an inter-disciplinary degree delivered by specialists in exercise sciences, psychology and basic biomedical sciences.

Graduates in Exercise and Health Science are strongly placed for employment in a wide range of sport, exercise and health industries. Many students will continue in research posts where the project work in the Honours year provides valuable experience. Others will go on to a more vocational medical related MSc, in for example, physiotherapy or dietetics; or a postgraduate qualification in teaching PE or biology. Additionally, exercise and health scientists are able to apply knowledge of biological sciences to the design and evaluation of physical activity and health programmes for participants, ranging through cardiac rehabilitation patients, recreational exercisers and athletes.
