BSc (Hons) Psychology of Sport

Designed for students with a passion for sport, exercise and human behaviour, this full-time undergraduate degree at the University of Salford explores how athletes and exercisers think, feel and behave. The programme builds psychological knowledge across core areas including applied sport psychology, health behaviour change, research methods and biological psychology, before allowing students to specialise in their final year. Graduates are prepared for roles in sport, health, education and social care, with pathways toward chartered psychologist status.

Delivered on campus in Manchester across three years, the course is taught through a mix of lectures, tutorials, practical sessions and problem-based learning, with assessment split between coursework and exams. A sandwich placement year is available between the second and third years. The programme is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS); students achieving a lower second-class degree or above receive a Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership, the first step toward becoming a chartered psychologist. The course is delivered by the University of Salford's School of Health and Society.
