Undergraduate courses
We offer high-quality teaching across two unique undergraduate programmes; our BA in Sport, Exercise and Physical Activity and BSc Sport and Exercise Sciences.
Both are unique in that you will be studying both traditional sport and exercise science as well as contemporary subjects necessary for the prosperity of people, sport, and the planet, now and into the future.
Aligned with the United Nation’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, this includes a focus on reducing health inequalities, advancing gender and race equality in sport, ensuring good wellbeing through exercise, and the role of the environment, like climate change, on sport and physical activity.
