Sport and Exercise Science BSc(Hons)

Designed for students with a passion for human performance and health, the Sport and Exercise Science BSc(Hons) at the University of Huddersfield develops scientific and critical understanding across anatomy, biomechanics, physiology, psychology, and nutrition. The programme explores how the body responds to exercise, how to optimise sporting performance, and how to promote positive health behaviours. Students gain hands-on experience using specialist laboratory equipment, complete a work placement in their second year, and undertake a self-directed research project in their final year.

It carries endorsement from the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES) undergraduate scheme and the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA), enabling students to gain industry-recognised qualifications including Gym Instructor and Personal Trainer. Graduates are eligible to apply for CIMSPA graduate membership on completion.
