Bachelor of Sciences (Honours) - Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences with Business Studies (C6ND)

The Brunel Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences with Business Studies BSc is a unique joint honours programme that combines a strong foundation in the sciences behind sport and exercise with a thorough knowledge and understanding of the business administration and management processes sought by professional organisations.

For the sports science portion of this degree, students will study how the human body works on physiological, biomechanical and psychological levels and how this can be applied to improve athletic development and performance and prevent injury. Students will develop the skills to monitor, evaluate, and enhance sport and exercise performance in laboratory and field settings and to design and conduct experiments.

The business element of this course will focus on key business disciplines including management, organisational behaviour, marketing, change management, entrepreneurship and small business ventures.

In today’s fast-growing sport and exercise market, the skills and knowledge of both the sports sciences and the world of business that students will gain from a Brunel degree will make them a preferred job candidate to employers across the industry.

Students will also have the opportunity to carry out a placement as part of their degree, that will give them the chance to put the theory they’ve learned into practice. This Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences with Business Studies BSc offers two placement options: students can choose to carry out two placements during the summer vacations within the three year degree, or a one year placement between years two and three, as part of a four year degree.
