About this course

Sport and exercise science applies the methods and knowledge of biology, physiology, biomechanics, and psychology to understand human movement and physical performance. It is the scientific foundation of elite sport support, exercise medicine, physical activity promotion, and the design of training programmes for athletes at every level. As evidence-based practice has become central to coaching, rehabilitation, and health promotion, the demand for sport scientists with rigorous training has grown substantially. At the University of Bath, which has one of the most highly regarded sport and exercise science programmes in the UK and world-class facilities developed alongside elite sport, you will study exercise physiology, biomechanics, sport psychology, nutrition, and research methods in depth. The programme is grounded in scientific rigour from the outset, and you will conduct laboratory
