This course is the School of Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences' classic degree allowing you to study the three areas of sports science, health and physical education. It is good preparation for careers in teaching physical education (after following a Postgraduate Certificate in Education), the fitness industry, or for a career in research in a variety of sport and health-related areas.

All students study 120 credits in each year of their degree. In addition to modules in the subject specific areas of Physiology, Psychology, Biomechanics, and Motor Control and Learning relating to each degree, there are two components common to all programmes:

Portfolio Academic Skills: This module helps students with the transition from school to university. It provides a comprehensive primer to fundamental academic principles such as academic writing; literature searching; referencing; presentation skills; and plagiarism. The practical emphasis of the module will ensure that all students are equipped with a solid platform from which they can thrive as an academic, both during their time as an undergraduate and beyond.

Research Skills, Project and Dissertation (all students except joint honours PE course): Research Skills enables students to understand research processes in sport, health and exercise sciences. In their final year, students have the opportunity to integrate the knowledge they have accumulated in an independent research project or a dissertation. They will be required to interpret their research findings in relation to current knowledge and present their results at a Student Conference. These research projects/dissertations provide the foundation for lifelong learning in sport and health sciences and have been recognised as a hallmark of our degree programmes by students and external examiners.
