Course summary

With a practical, real-world, multi and inter-disciplinary emphasis on the latest sports science, our BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science course will explore psychology, physiology, biomechanics, nutrition, strength and conditioning and performance analysis to help you give future sports stars the winning edge. You will learn about health issues from internationally acknowledged experts, giving you the real-world experience to qualify for public health roles beyond graduation.

Student-athletes have access to sports laboratories and testing equipment in our specialist sports and teaching facility, focusing on practical hands-on training to set you up for a career in sport and exercise science. Attain an entrepreneurial streak, or set yourself up for teaching, by exploring out-of-discipline modules with an emphasis on sport management and sports coaching.

We appreciate the demands of combining study and soccer development so, where possible, we ensure our student-athletes benefit from maximised time in both the classroom and on the pitch. Timetabling is done in such a manner that means academic study will typically be taught in the morning with soccer activities taking place in the afternoon.

By studying Sport and Exercise Science at Northumbria, you will follow in the footsteps of the sporting elite, including Olympic gold medallist Victoria Pendleton, double Commonwealth champion swimmer Chris Cook, international volleyball player Andy Clayton, and England international rugby union player Jamie Noon.

Our course is designed to support you in developing the key competencies, skills and attitudes that graduates need. Developing your knowledge, practical skills and confidence to work in a variety of roles associated with sports science is at the heart of all module learning experiences and assessment. To help you stand out, there may be scope to explore a variety of 'add-on' courses, although additional costs may incur. Courses might include 'working with people who have disabilities', 'working with children', 'first aid', 'ISAK Level 1/2 Body Composition Analysis' etc., to enhance your employability prospects and graduate readiness.

We make your personal-professional development and career planning a priority across all years of study with us and you will develop your knowledge and understanding of the graduate labour market, and of current trends in graduate recruitment and selection, applying this to your career planning.

We offer several additional opportunities to enhance your CV, develop your employability or enterprise skills, and increase commercial awareness opportunities may include work placements, overseas travel and study, guest speakers and networking. There are also volunteering programmes both within and outside the University, and representing your course at Programme or School level.

As an i2i student-athlete, you will be in a unique position to prepare yourself for a career both inside and outside of soccer. Whether you are looking to go into playing soccer at a professional level or are hoping to engage with a career elsewhere in the soccer or sporting industry, you will be able to take advantage of a unique programme offering that prepares you for a multitude of career paths.
