BSc (Hons) Strength & Conditioning

Hartpury University's BSc (Hons) Strength and Conditioning is designed for undergraduate students seeking to build the knowledge and practical skills needed to enhance athletic performance. The programme covers specialist strength and conditioning modules alongside core sports science disciplines including physiology, anatomy, sport psychology and biomechanics. Students work with elite athletes through the university's Sports Academy and can complete optional industry placements with organisations such as Southampton FC, Gloucester Rugby and the English Institute of Sport.

Delivered on campus in Gloucester, the course runs for three years full time, with a part-time route and an optional placement year also available. Graduates earn the CIMSPA professional titles of Graduate Strength and Conditioning Coach and Strength and Conditioning Trainer, with student membership fees funded by Hartpury throughout the programme. The course is also endorsed by the National Strength and Conditioning Association, providing a strong foundation for those wishing to pursue the CSCS examination.
