Course summary

This course enables you to explore and understand sport and exercise using the main disciplines of biomechanics, physiology and psychology, in relation to both high-performance and recreational participants. BASES Undergraduate Endorsed Courses - The rigorous assessment criteria ensure that only highest calibre courses achieve the BASES endorsement award The BSc(Hons) Sport and Exercise Science​ is just one of an exciting range of courses on offer at the University of Wolverhampton’s Institute of Sport. Why not come and visit us at one of our Open Days. In the first year you will be introduced to the various scientific approaches to examining sport and exercise performance. As you do this you will build a range of research skills that will help you develop research project ideas and understand what is written about the subject. These skills will be further developed in your second year as you build your applied sport and exercise science knowledge, specifically in exercise physiology, biomechanics and sport & exercise psychology. In your final year, you will undertake an independent project enabling you to investigate an area of your choice, with an opportunity to specialise in two of the three sport and exercise science disciplines: applied biomechanics, exercise physiology and sport & exercise psychology. You will also receive training in improving your subject specific knowledge and applying practical skills.
