Why Applied Sport and Exercise Studies (Level 6)?

Our Applied Sport and Exercise Studies (Level 6) course enables you to top up your existing Level 5 qualification (such as a foundation degree or HND) to a full honours degree. Throughout this online course you’ll be taught by our industry-experienced lecturers, and you’ll learn from current professional practitioners from a variety of sports setting.

Building on your existing knowledge, you’ll explore the impact of sport on people’s lives, on our communities and on wider society.
