Course Description
Do you have a passion for sport and a concern for social issues within sport and exercise? Are you keen to play a part in reducing inequalities, promoting social justice, and improving health and wellbeing through sport, exercise and physical activity?
On the BA Sport, Exercise and Physical Activity course you will explore a wide range of topics from grassroots to elite level sport. You’ll also investigate some of the connections between sport and issues such as discrimination and inequalities, the environment, sedentary lifestyles and obesity.
The core and optional modules, developed by an academic team involved in leading-edge research, centre on the key areas of sport sociology, sport policy and sports development. The curriculum also offers the flexibility to select modules from the wider sport and exercise sciences, including physiology, psychology, physical activity, nutrition and health. These modules have been carefully designed to enhance your research and academic study skills, and the final-year dissertation is an opportunity to engage in deeper investigation of a sport, exercise or physical activity topic that particularly interests you.
With a focus on employability, there will be opportunities for you to develop your skill set and take sport and exercise placement modules. You also have the choice of applying to add an industry placement year or a study year abroad to your degree, increasing the course from three years to four.
Our approach to learning, teaching and assessment emphasises the application of academic knowledge to real-life examples and practices in sport, exercise and physical activity. This enables you to develop your intellectual capacities and personal qualities, while acquiring a broad range of practical, professional and employability skills that can be applied to a range of careers in the sport and leisure sector and beyond.
