New Mexico Highlands Department of Exercise and Sport Sciences offers an undergraduate major in human performance and sport and an undergraduate major in health. There are also four minors available through the Department of Exercise and Sport Sciences: human performance and sport, coaching, recreation, and health.

Immerse yourself in the engaging and diverse world of sport and exercise. Ranging from scientific support, coaching, and service provision to duty of care and community development, our Sport and Exercise degree reflects an ever-evolving job market. Translate theory into practice by exploring areas such as physiology, psychology, and biomechanics.

Our Sport and Exercise Physiotherapy programme is designed in collaboration with the Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Sports and Exercise Medicine (ACPSEM) and international organisations such as the International Federation of Sports Physiotherapists (IFSP). Our established programme is suited to qualified physiotherapists, from across the UK and internationally working in a wide variety of sectors that involve managing people with sport or exercise-related injuries.

Sport and Exercise Science explores how the human body performs under different levels of pressure. It also covers the broader issues at play, from wider participation in sports and exercise, to ethics, sports psychology and nutrition.

Sports science is the application of scientific principles to human performance via the interdisciplinary approaches of physiology, psychology and biomechanics. St Mary’s has a long tradition of excellence in sport-related degrees. Our Sport and Exercise Science degree is endorsed by the British Association of Sport and Exercise Scientists (BASES) (pathway-specific) and many staff are active professional members of BASES.

Taking part in a BSc (Hons) in Sport and Exercise Science can be life-changing and so can a degree in sport and exercise science. Gaining the skills to boost elite athletes’ performance, improve fitness in the general population or support people with ongoing health conditions opens up rewarding career options.

Prepare for a career in the sport and exercise industries on this multidisciplinary, evidence-based course. On this course you’ll develop your professional skills in sport and exercise – alongside specialist skills in biomechanics, performance analysis, physiology, nutrition, strength and conditioning. We offer a first-class suite of research and teaching laboratories, as well as the excellent facilities offered by our partnership venue at the English Institute of Sport.

Study BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science at Scotland’s Top Modern University for teaching and overall student satisfaction (NSS 2023). Demand for highly qualified sport and exercise scientists is greater than ever – a consequence of the need for practitioners equipped to work with elite athletes and teams, as well as professionals who can help prevent chronic diseases.

The Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science will equip you with the knowledge and skills to work as a health professional

Scotland’s University for Sporting Excellence provides the perfect place for you to study and kick-start your career in sport with our Sport and Exercise Science course.

Providing you with the theory, skills and experience required for a successful career in sport and exercise physiology. This master's degree provides you with the theoretical underpinning, practical skills and professional experience required for a successful career in sport and exercise physiology. Sports physiologists play a vital role in developing human performance for sports teams and individual athletes by providing scientific support, monitoring physical attributes and optimising training programmes.

The Master of Sport and Exercise (Research) program is for graduates who wish to enhance their knowledge of an area, address policy or management issues, or pursue a research/academic career.

This MSc. program is dedicated to providing a thorough grounding in the knowledge and application of psychological principles to sport, exercise and performance settings in order to enhance wellbeing and performance. It seeks to equip candidates with a sound understanding of theory and research and develop core competencies and professional skills across a range of key domains including the following: motor cognition and skill acquisition; performance psychology; exercise and mental health; applied positive psychology; organisational behaviour and wellbeing; professional issues and ethics; and research design and methods. The core aims of the program are to create an outstanding and distinctive learning experience through innovations in teaching (e.g. e-learning module in applied positive psychology), instilling a scientist practitioner approach across both sport and exercise contexts and highlighting the role of ethical considerations in practice.
