About this course
BSc Hons in Sports and Exercise Science (Study Abroad), an undergraduate degree in Sport and Exercise Science focused on the scientific study of human movement, physiology, and performance. Core topics include Programming, Data Analysis, Statistics, Research Methods, Critical & Analytical Thinking, and Ethics & Professional Practice. Delivered through Lancaster Medical School, the curriculum integrates laboratory work across dedicated physiology and biomechanics facilities and incorporates a compulsory third year spent studying abroad at an approved international partner university. The first year covers fundamental concepts through compulsory modules such as Anatomy and Biomechanics: Foundations of Movement, Fuel For Life: Nutrition Science, Innovations in Exercise Assessment and Prescription, Professional Practice: Academic Skill Development, Physiology and Metabolism Unlocked, and Sports and Exercise Psychology: Powerhouse Principles. The second year builds on this foundation with compulsory modules including Advanced Biomechanics: Optimising Human Potential, Breaking Boundaries: Debates Shaping Sports and Exercise Science, Conquer the Data: Research Methods and Statistics, Molecules to Muscles: Integrative Human Physiology, Sports and Exercise Medicine: Patient to Performer, and Sports and Exercise Psychology: The Embodied, Embedded and Extended Performer. Following the third year abroad, the final year allows students to pursue specific interests through optional modules such as Applied Biomechanics: Performance and Rehabilitation, Game Changing: Applied Sports and Exercise Psychology, Life at the Extremes: Environmental and Exercise Physiology, Maximise Elite Performance: Redefining Excellence, and Optimise Health: Transform Outcomes from Patient to Population. Students also complete a compulsory final-year research project titled Cutting-Edge Science: Research Dissertation in Sports and Exercise Science, alongside Engaging the Public: Power in Science Communication.
