The BSc (Hons) Sports Science program is designed to equip students with a deep understanding of human physiology, biomechanics, psychology, and sports performance. This multidisciplinary program provides knowledge and skills that are essential for careers in sports coaching, athletic performance, rehabilitation, and fitness training. Through practical and theoretical approaches, students will learn about sports nutrition, exercise physiology, kinesiology, and performance analysis, preparing them for dynamic roles in the sports and health industries.

Upon successful completion of the program, graduates will be able to:

1. Gain a comprehensive understanding of human physiology and anatomy in sports.
2. Apply biomechanics to enhance sports performance and prevent injuries.
3. Develop exercise physiology knowledge to design effective training programs.
4. Utilize sports psychology techniques to improve athlete mental health and performance.
5. Implement nutritional strategies to optimize athletic performance and recovery.
6. Conduct performance analysis to evaluate and enhance athletic outcomes.
7. Undertake original research in sports science.

• Applicants to the degree programme must have successfully completed, and must have normally achieved a high school diploma or equivalent qualification.
• Background in science or physical education preferred but not mandatory.
• Applicants who have obtained a Higher National Diploma of equivalent content and standard (level and credits) from another institution will be considered for admission to Stage 3 (top up BSc) under the Recognition of Prior Learning Policy. Such applicants may apply for exemptions to some or all of Stages 1, 2 and directly eligible to apply BSc Top up. They must have completed a minimum of 240 credits (or equivalent) at HND level (Level 4/5 at RQF Level) in equivalent sprots science content and similar level of credits) of relevant accredited prior learning. Such candidates must supply all supporting documentation at the time of application.

The BSc (Hons) Sports Science program consists of 180 credits, divided into core courses and a final-year project report. Each subject is worth 6 credits, while the capstone project report accounts for 18 credits. The course structure is as follows:
