Overview

Applied Sport Science is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Sport and Exercise Sciences covers testing and data analysis, which is where most graduate roles now sit. We currently work with 2 universities on this course across 2 cities.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition is £17,500 a year.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.

Careers opportunities
