Overview

Sport and Exercise Science is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a one year foundation course, the year before an undergraduate degree begins.

Teaching in Sport and Exercise Sciences combines laboratory physiology with applied coaching or management work.

If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.
