Sport and Exercise Science

About this course

Sport and exercise science applies the principles of physiology, psychology and biomechanics to understand human physical performance, health and wellbeing. It is a discipline that spans the high-performance end of sport, where marginal gains in training, recovery and psychology separate winners from competitors, and the broader public health agenda, where encouraging physical activity across populations is one of the most effective strategies for preventing chronic disease. The science underpinning both contexts is the same: understanding how the body responds to exercise, how the mind influences performance, and how movement can be measured, analysed and improved. At Birmingham Newman University you will study for three years full-time, exploring how physiology, psychology and biomechanics contribute to performance and recovery. You will develop practical laboratory and field skills a
