Sport and Exercise Science BSc (Hons)

Coventry University's Sport and Exercise Science BSc (Hons) examines how the human body responds to physical activity, covering physiology, biomechanics, psychology and nutrition. Aimed at undergraduates with an interest in sport, health and exercise, the programme develops practical and scientific skills applicable to roles in athlete support, community health, education and fitness. Students work with real-world case studies and laboratory sessions, with previous cohorts gaining placement experience at clubs including Southampton FC, Fulham and Coventry City FC, as well as the English Institute of Sport.

Delivered full-time on campus in Coventry, the course runs over three years, or four years on the sandwich route, which incorporates a work placement of at least 26 weeks. Successful graduates earn a BSc (Hons) degree. The university holds a Gold rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) 2023 and five QS Stars for Teaching and Facilities. Teaching is delivered by active researchers and practitioners, some of whom hold membership of professional bodies including BASES and the UK Strength and Conditioning Association (UKSCA).
