Course: FdSc Sport, Health and Exercise

This course has been set up to meet the demand for more skilled workers in the sports industry. It has been developed working with employers, including health organisations and gyms, to meet the needs of the industry and the health needs of the population.

You will develop a variety of transferable skills that employers look for such as producing a range of documents, analysing and synthesising information, working effectively within a team, managing your own learning and workload, solving problems and critically reflecting on your own and others’ work. Graduates have gone onto work as exercise referral specialists, personal trainers, sports therapists, sports coaches and teachers. (Some of these careers require additional study).

The progression year allows holders of an appropriate Foundation degree to achieve a full BSc (Hons) degree. You can continue to apply the themes of developing transferable skills and academic knowledge whilst demonstrating greater levels of autonomy. The course offers innovative and varied modules including: physical performance science; functional movement education; wider determinants of health; sustainable professional practice and a dissertation.
