BSc (Hons) Sport & Exercise Science

Designed for students seeking to understand the science underpinning human performance and health, this undergraduate degree blends behavioural, physical, and life sciences to develop both academic knowledge and practical laboratory skills. Students examine how biomechanics, nutrition, physiology, and psychology interact to shape performance, conduct hands-on lab sessions covering areas such as oxygen consumption, motion analysis, and cardiovascular function, and explore applied challenges including injury prevention and physical activity interventions for clinical populations. Placement opportunities with professional sports clubs and health settings are also available.

The course is delivered full-time on campus at Leeds Beckett University's Headingley Campus, running across three years, with a start date of September 2026. Graduates earn a BSc (Hons) in Sport and Exercise Science, and the programme holds endorsement from the Chartered Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (CASES), the UK's professional body for the discipline. Teaching takes place within industry-standard facilities including environmental chambers, a human movement laboratory, and a strength and conditioning suite, and is delivered by research-active staff within the Carnegie School of Sport.
