Overview

On the Sport and Exercise Science (Hons) programme from University of Hertfordshire you’ll use the performance labs to learn how to assess and improve sporting performance. What’s more, you’ll gain invaluable knowledge on the role exercise plays in improving health and wellbeing.

Benefit from specialist labs and facilities

You’ll have access to two dedicated sports science and therapy laboratories on campus. They are equipped with a state-of-the-art grail treadmill, force plates, a bod pod and a climate chamber.

You'll be able to use specialist physiology, biomechanical and biochemistry equipment, for example, online gas analysers. You’ll even be able to do blood analysis to test for blood lactate and cholesterol.

Or use the running treadmills, cycling and rowing ergometers to measure physiological processes. You’ll use specialist arthrometric equipment, dynamometers and weight-lifting equipment. There is even an indoor putting green for psychological and biomechanical analysis.

Turn your dreams into your dream job

Because you’ll study various aspects of sport and exercise, there is a wide range of career opportunities waiting for you. Interested in becoming an exercise physiologist? A sports therapist? Maybe a health promotion specialist?

This course will give you a solid foundation to do exactly that. If you prefer going into sports coaching or even manage a fitness centre of your own, we’ve got you covered. Some of our graduates have gone on to work and study in education, business, and nutrition. The opportunities are endless.
