Course summary
Sport and Exercise Sciences prides itself on its approachable staff and varied teaching strategies, which external examiners and current students praise highly. In using a student-centred approach, we produce graduates with subject expertise and career potential. The practical and applied nature of the course is a major feature.
In recent years, the sports, recreation and leisure industries have shown continuous growth. International success and the growing health agenda have ensured that investment and interest in sport and exercise in the UK continues to increase substantially.
Therefore, the course is designed with two core principles in mind. Firstly, the development of knowledge, applied skills and analytical techniques in the conventional subdisciplines of sport and exercise sciences. Secondly, the orientation of studies around vocational opportunities and practices, including:
-
PE
-
Sports management
-
Coaching
-
Health promotion
-
Leisure
-
Recreation
-
as well as sport science support and sport and exercise sciences generally.
We have a wide range of facilities including:
-
Performance Analysis
-
Muscle Function laboratories
-
Sports Biomechanics laboratories
-
Gyms
-
A swimming pool
-
A floodlit 3G MUGA pitch
-
Sprint track
-
Tennis courts and more.

Assessment method
There will be a broad range of assessment methods so that students are exposed to the different types of tasks they might encounter in the workplace, whether in professional sport settings, exercise and health promotion settings or beyond. These will include assessments in the form of practical lab assessments, lab reports, written work (both long and short form e.g. reports, reflections), portfolios and presentations. We continuously review the assessment methods used in order that they adequately prepare students for graduate-level employment.

Contextual admissions
Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.
The University of Chester is committed to supporting and encouraging students from a wide range of backgrounds and our Admissions policy forms part of our commitment to ensuring that all students with the potential to succeed have the opportunity to do so. We recognise that not all students have access to the same levels of education, support, and guidance, therefore, when making admissions decision, we consider a wide range of factors to identify merit, rather than academic attainment alone.
