BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Psychology

Designed as the first stage in the professional training route toward HCPC registration, this BPS-accredited degree explores how psychological principles influence performance, participation, and wellbeing in sport and physical activity. Core topics include the Psychology of Team Sports, Applied Sport Psychology, and the Psychology of Injury, alongside research methods and professional practice. A placement in the final year provides hands-on experience in sport, health, or performance settings, and graduates are eligible to progress toward the British Psychological Society's Qualification in Sport and Exercise Psychology (QSEP).

Delivered on campus at the University of Winchester, the programme runs three years full time (four years as a sandwich course). Teaching combines lectures and seminars, supported by industry-standard psychology laboratories and specialist performance equipment. The course is accredited by the British Psychological Society and taught by BPS Chartered and HCPC Registered psychologists. Completion opens a pathway to further accredited postgraduate study and, ultimately, HCPC registration as a Sport and Exercise Psychologist.
