Course Description

The University of East London is making swift strides towards its aim of becoming London's No 1 university for sport, and our much-admired sport and exercise science degree is leading the way.

Study our challenging course and you'll be examining the role that biomechanics, physiology, psychology and nutrition play in human performance. You'll also look at how these disciplines interact, so you receive the complete education a multi-disciplinary sports scientist needs.

You'll have the chance to study optional subjects that give our course its special flavour – such as our module in disability sport.

It's a course that has attracted some of Britain's leading sportspeople of the day such as European 200m champion Adam Gemili, Commonwealth 200m bronze medallist Bianca Williams and double European and Commonwealth medal-winning swimmer Aimee Willmott. It also develops the sports scientists and teachers who'll help deliver the champions of tomorrow.

If you want to know how good our course is, don't just take our word for it. Listen to Adam.

"As an athlete you need to understand how your body works - the biomechanics," he says. "That knowledge has really helped me when I'm in the blocks to get the biggest first step that I can."
