Undergraduate Sport and Exercise Sciences

Study the science behind sport and exercise at Roehampton. You’ll learn how to optimise athletic performance, prevent injuries, improve wellbeing and help athletes with recovery. 

Sport and Exercise Science is made up of three areas – the biology and biochemistry of the body (physiology); the physical demands on the body (biomechanics); and the response of the mind (psychology).  

This Sport and Exercise Sciences degree will give you in-depth knowledge of how these three sciences underpin sport and exercise, to help you build a successful career in the sports industry. 

You will learn about the latest sport theory and practice, and gain hands-on experience working in lab settings with specialised modern equipment.  

Developing a strong base of scientific knowledge, you will explore how to address key contemporary issues, such as how to optimise team performance and improve recovery, how to build the mobility of amputees, and how to cope with extreme environmental conditions.  

Our enthusiastic tutors provide lively interactive ways to learn, ensuring you will have the best possible experience. Building key skills, including the ability to analyse and understand scientific data and information, you will go away in a strong position to build a career in the sports industry or beyond. 

Recent modules have included Applied Sport and Exercise Science, which explores performance analysis techniques for both team and individual sports; Psychology of Peak Performance, where you will discover the psychological theories and skills that apply to promoting peak performance, including the newest psychological developments; and Biomechanics: Performance & Injury, which will help you put the theory into practice using data from scientific measurements to improve athlete performance.
