BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science

Delivered at the University of Chichester's Bishop Otter Campus, this three-year full-time BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science degree is designed for students who want to explore the scientific foundations of sporting and exercise performance. Covering biomechanics, physiology, psychology, nutrition, and strength and conditioning, the programme allows students to specialise through either a Sport Performance or Physical Activity for Health pathway, tailoring their studies to their individual career ambitions.

Teaching is campus-based, drawing on specialist laboratories including biomechanics, physiology, and psychology labs, as well as an environmental climate chamber.
