This degree has three core strands:

  • Biomechanics will explore how humans create and control movement including athletes’ technique
  • Physiology will cover the structure, function, regulation and performance of bodily systems
  • Psychology will examine the role of thoughts, feelings and behaviours in sport and exercise settings
Through these core strands, you'll apply your knowledge to sports performance and exercise participation to develop an understanding of the relevance of sport and exercise science to current practice.

Along with the core study of biomechanics, physiology and psychology, examples of other topics you will cover include:

  • biochemistry
  • motor control
  • nutrition and metabolism
  • research methods
  • sports medicine
  • strength and conditioning
In Year 1, you'll develop your functional anatomy knowledge and link it to basic concepts of biomechanics. You’ll build on your knowledge of human physiology and psychology and their application to sport and exercise. You will also develop your skills in research design and statistics.

Through Year 2, you'll advance your knowledge of biomechanics and explore interdisciplinary studies in connection with nutrition and psychology in sport. You’ll apply your biomechanics, physiology and psychology knowledge to sport and exercise medicine, and develop practical skills that relate to sport and exercise science data collection and interpretation.
