Course summary

Our three-year combined BSc degree covers a broad base of classical and contemporary theory across both disciplines and has been designed to be fresh and relevant to the wider industry.

Sport and Exercise Science is equally rooted in our distant human beginnings and anchored to our present state. It explores how the human body performs under different levels of pressure and covers broad issues from wider participation in sports, including anatomy and nutrition.

Mathematics involves precision, complexity, and elegant simplicity; this degree allows you to shape your studies by choosing between two exciting pathways: Mathematical Modelling or Statistics, giving you the ability to follow the themes that inspire you the most.

Modules

In Year 1, you will typically study areas including:
Foundations of Algebra, Human Anatomy, Introduction to Sports Biomechanics, Introductory Linear Algebra, Probability and Statistics, Sports Performance Science

In Year 2, you will typically study areas including:
Multi-variable analysis, Exercise Physiology, Biomechanical Technology, Measurement & Analysis, Metric spaces and measure theory, Philosophy of Sports Ethics, Human Nutrition, Mathematical Modelling: Theory and Practice, Professional Development and Career Planning

In Year 3, you will typically study areas including:
Complex Analysis, Sport, Diet and Disease, Sports Biomechanics, Health Related Exercise, Markov Processes and Applications, Risk and Survival Models, Biomathematics

Assessment method

You will be taught through a combination of lectures, tutor-led tutorials and regular (non-assessed) coursework. The final year modules are more student-centred, to reflect a progression in teaching methods appropriate to the subjects taught. Throughout, the learner is encouraged to undertake independent reading both to supplement and consolidate what is being taught/learnt and to broaden knowledge and understanding of the subject. You will be assessed through a combination of unseen written examinations, set assignments, presentations and a dissertation.
