Sport and Exercise Medical Sciences is an innovative programme that equips you with skills in sport and exercise healthcare to apply to patients and populations with chronic diseases. You will learn about the human body in health and disease as well as in exercise and athletic performance; exercise prescription for the management of medical conditions; performance optimisation; assessment, management and prevention of sport injuries; and scientific research skills.
In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
The programme begins with the foundations of human biology and medicine, covering how the body works, what goes wrong in disease and how to treat it; students will then be introduced to how the body responds during exercise.
In year two the foundations of sport and exercise medicine are taught, from the principles of exercise training and performance optimisation, to the behavioural psychology and skills to promote appropriate physical activity for health and in disease. Students learn essential medical research and statistical skills to start their research project. There are also optional modules.
Year three comprises the research project, and modules covering exercise prescription, sports nutrition, assessment and management of musculoskeletal and sports injuries, their rehabilitation and prevention.

Upon successful completion of 360 credits, you will be awarded a BSc (Hons) in Sport and Exercise Medical Sciences.
