Course description
Open up a range of careers by learning how to help athletes improve their performance and how to protect the general public's health and wellbeing through exercise.
You’ll start by developing a thorough understanding of the different scientific principles involved – such as physiology, psychology and biomechanics – to give you the foundation to work as a qualified professional in either a health or sports and performance setting.
And you’ll take your employability prospects to the next level with a series of hands-on and sometimes exclusive placement opportunities, CV-boosting volunteering and career-inspiring experiences to help you stand out from the competition.
Why choose Hull for Sport and Exercise Science? Because we’re well connected. You can tap into our close links with Hull City, Hull KR and Hull FC (all three clubs have former Hull students working for them) or with the NHS, nutritional health providers and schools. And that means you could get access to elite athletes, industry experts, possible internships and more.
They’re all part of our extensive work-based placement programme that gives you the chance to put your theory to the test in real-world scenarios.
You’ll be learning that theory in some of the best facilities in the industry right here on campus and you’ll be able to decide what you want to study in your final year. You can follow your passions and interests in psychology, biomechanics, physiology or nutrition and choose whether you want to focus on health and exercise, or sports and performance.
You’ll have the chance to showcase your final-year project at our Student Thesis Conference, celebrating your research alongside fellow students and professionals. It’s a fantastic way to develop presentation skills, make even more industry connections, and share your passion for sport and exercise science - learn more here.
Add it all up, and you’ll leave here a well-rounded science graduate with standout industry experience. Just what you need to pursue a truly rewarding career.
