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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science with Foundation Year is the application of scientific principles to human performance via the interdisciplinary approaches of physiology, psychology, and biomechanics.

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.

You’ll study behavioural, physical and life sciences in this practice-based course in BSc (Hons) Sport & Exercise Science. A passion for understanding the science behind sports performance, health, and physical activity will drive your career in helping people of all physical abilities. You’ll develop skills which are increasingly in demand as the importance of health and physical activity becomes more prominent in the UK and beyond.

If you are fascinated by the science behind sport and exercise performance, this course gives you the opportunity to learn from and be part of a world-leading research team, using state-of-the-art equipment and facilities in a high-performance environment. The course combines scientific knowledge and sports performance with lab work, and offers specialist units in biomechanics, exercise physiology and social psychology, to name a few.
