BSc (Hons) Psychology of Sport, Exercise and Performance

Delivered across UCFB's Wembley and Manchester campuses, this three-year full-time undergraduate degree examines the psychological foundations of sport, exercise and performance. It combines core psychology topics — including social, cognitive, biological and developmental psychology — with applied sport and exercise psychology, covering areas such as stress regulation, well-being, athlete engagement and performance enhancement. The programme is suited to students seeking a grounding in psychology within sporting contexts, including football.

The degree is awarded by the University of East London, with UCFB operating as an embedded college. It is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), whose requirements shape the curriculum, including the empirical dissertation completed in the final year. Teaching is classroom-based, delivered full time over three years from a September start, and includes seminars, networking opportunities and guest speaker sessions as part of UCFB's employability provision.
