Sport and Exercise

About this course

Sport and exercise science applies the methods of physiology, psychology, biomechanics, and nutrition to understanding human performance and physical activity.

The discipline sits between pure science and applied practice, and its graduates work across elite sport, health promotion, rehabilitation, and sports development. This four-year full-time programme at Abertay University includes a year abroad, giving you the opportunity to study at an international partner institution and to encounter sport and exercise science in a different national context. Approaches to sport science support, physical education, and public health through exercise vary across countrie
