Welcome and Introduction to BSc(Hons) Sport, Health and Exercise Science (Top up) The BSc (Hons) Sport, Health and Exercise Science (Level 6 top-up) programme is a fantastic new option for students aspiring to work in the following industries; health referral, teaching, leisure industry, sports performance. The programme will also allow learners to gain transferable skills to support their application to wider employment opportunities. This course is focussed on the practical application of theoretical constructs in an industry relevant manner with the vision to enhance both employability and entrepreneurial acumen. Students will get the opportunity to apply theory to practice across the provision including laboratory and field-based testing. Learners will carry out primary and secondary research throughout the programme; including the honours dissertation where graduates chose topics of interest aligned with their subject specialisms. Work-based practices will be mandatory in the Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences core module with the option to carry out physical education or health promotion placements; this will be supported with coaching placements in the Applied Coaching optional module. The new programme will include the following mandatory modules; Honours Dissertation (40 credit) Lifelong Health (20 credits) and Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences (20 credit).

The number of options being offered will depend on recruitment to the programme. In the event of low student recruitment two compulsory modules will be offered. The programme aims to deliver a broader understanding of both scientific underpinnings in light of health related promotion, sport development and coaching. This innovative approach will better align students with the demands of a continually evolving sport and health related industry in a sustainable manner.
