Course summary

How do you create a champion? Unravel the importance of psychological wellbeing and understand the fundamentals of performance and sport engagement. Our accredited sport and exercise psychology degree helps you bring out the best in athletes and promote physical activity.

Psychology is becoming an important area for athletes who want to get the edge over their competition. During this degree you’ll look at the power our minds can have over performance and motivation.

Our Psychology and Sport and Physical Activity departments have partnered up to develop this course. It’s accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) as conferring eligibility for the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC), which is the first step towards becoming a chartered psychologist or sports psychologist.

With this degree you’ll benefit from hands on learning. And you’ll be able to pinpoint the mental barriers preventing people from being active. You’ll be conducting interviews and observations to create case studies and complete research.

We’ll look at the influence of exercise on psychological wellbeing and equip you with an understanding of the principles of psychology that will act as a foundation for your future career.
