About Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Sport and Exercise Sciences

On this degree, students will learn to understand and improve sport performance, study in the University of Roehampton's state-of-the-art sports and exercise facilities, gain industry experience and kickstart their career in this exciting and growing field.  

Sport and Exercise Science is made up of three core disciplines: Physiology (the branch of biology that deals with of how the body functions), Biomechanics (the study of movement of the body and the forces that underpin movement), and Psychology (the study of the mind and behavior).  The University of Roehampton's Sport and Exercise Sciences degree will give students an in-depth understanding how to apply these sciences to sport and exercise, as well as the opportunity to study other related topics including nutrition and health.    

The University of Roehampton's enthusiastic tutors and state-of-the-art laboratories and equipment provide lively interactive ways to learn, ensuring students have the best possible experience. The University of Roehampton emphasises both theoretical and practical understanding across the range of disciplines, to ensure students have the subject knowledge as well as the ability to apply this practically. Employability skills are a core part of the curriculum, to ensure students become a quality graduate in a strong position to build careers in the sports & exercise industry or beyond. 

Some of the unique aspects of the course at the University of Roehampton include: 

  • The option to study all three core disciplines (Biomechanics, Physiology, and Psychology) as well as Nutrition across all three years, not just in some years. 
  • The option to undertake a final year dissertation project in either a ‘by-research’ or in a ‘by-practice’ format. The former is a traditional format suited to those particularly interested in the generation of new knowledge (research). The latter is a novel format, not widely available elsewhere. It is designed for those particularly interested in provision of sport science support to clients. 
  • The presence of an optional module in which students can gain relevant vocational experience as part of their studies (Work Place Learning)

In the first year. students will start exploring the three key academic disciplines that make up sport sciences – physiology, psychology and biomechanics. Students will then go onto expand their knowledge in second year and spend lots of time in the laboratory practically applying their knowledge and skills. Students will also have the opportunity to take modules with emphasise employability skills, apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios, and undertake work experience. In third year, students will choose their modules, tailoring their degree to their own specific interests, as well as complete their dissertation.  

Students will have the option of undertaking a work placement year between years two and three, to boost their CV even more.

Taught on the south-west London campus, on this degree, students will have access to excellent facilities, and to many opportunities for work experience through the Careers Team, and access to face-to-face and 24/7 online careers support, whether they choose to live on campus or commute.

The University of Roehampton has a range of partnerships with leading sports organisations, including being the Official Higher Education Partner for Premier League Crystal Palace FC.

This course offers all students the option of a one-year paid work placement, to boost their employability even further. If students choose this route, they will take the placement following year two of the course, and then return to complete their degree.
