BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science

About your course The BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science degree is delivered by world-leading experts in state-of-the-art facilities in our award-winning Tom Reilly Building. Sports scientists work in the sports industries with athletes, coaches and governing bodies to help improve elite performance or in communities promoting healthy lifestyles. Through the multi-disciplinary study of the behavioural, physical and life sciences, this degree prepares you for a highly rewarding career in sports or exercise contexts. This includes scientific support, rehabilitation, exercise training and health promotion. The foundations and principles underpinning sport and exercise science are covered in the first two years. This provides the multi-disciplinary grounding recommended by the Chartered Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (CASES). In the final year there is discipline specialisation and an independent research project led by the student. Thanks to strong links with industry partners, we have a clear understanding of the needs and expectations of employers and are able to design the course with your future employability in mind. Formal work-related learning opportunities are provided in the final year, during which you will apply the skills and theory you have learnt through an applied placement module. Many of our graduates continue onto postgraduate study to allow them to compete for the top sport and exercise science jobs in the country. The School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at LJMU is one of the best places in the country to study sport and exercise science. It pioneered the first degree of its kind in 1975 and is now formally recognised as a centre for world-leading research in the field.
