This course is designed for those who are committed to sport, health and exercise and have a passion to make a positive contribution to the health and lifestyle of their local community.

The progression year allows holders of appropriate Foundation degrees to achieve a full BSc (Hons) degree. You will continue to apply the themes of developing transferrable skills and academic knowledge whilst demonstrating greater levels of autonomy. The course offers innovative and varied modules, it is intended that the skills and knowledge developed on these modules can be applied to a wide range of sectors including the general population and athletes. You will be encouraged to consider all individuals to be occupational athletes and assess the impact of their occupation on their health.

Students are able to take advantage of the excellent facilities on campus including a modern gym, sports hall, exercise referral suite and well-being facilities.
