Sport and Exercise Science BSc (Hons)

Oxford Brookes University's Sport and Exercise Science BSc (Hons) is designed for students with an interest in how the human body responds to physical activity and a desire to work in sport, health, or exercise settings. The programme covers core disciplines including biomechanics, physiology, psychology, anatomy, and nutrition, with optional modules in areas such as strength and conditioning, performance analysis, and clinical rehabilitation. Students gain hands-on experience through specialist laboratory facilities, optional work placements, and field trips to environments such as the Atlas Mountains.

Delivered face to face at the university's Headington campus, the course runs for three years full time, with part-time study also available. Students can expect around 11 hours of contact time per week across lectures, seminars, tutorials, and practical sessions. The programme is accredited by both the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA) and the Chartered Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (CASES), and is taught by staff with experience supporting elite sports teams.
