Overview

At this BSc (Hons) in Sport and Exercise Psychology offered by Staffordshire University you’ll learn how psychology plays a pivotal role in both human performance and wellbeing. This includes helping athletes cope better under pressure and developing people’s confidence, motivation and resilience.

We teach the fundamentals of sport and exercise psychology from day one. But you’ll also get a multi-disciplinary perspective as the course covers aspects of biomechanics, social and developmental psychology.

It could take you from exploring group dynamics and leadership through to how the brain interacts with the spinal cord. You could also be delving into the psychology behind exercise addiction and interventions for dealing with stress and irrational beliefs.

Career prospects:

The Sport and Exercise Department works with local, regional and national employers to provide placement and work experience opportunities. We also have international university partners.

Other opportunities include becoming a volunteer with our Sports Academy. You could be helping to deliver physical activity and classroom-based workshops to young people in schools and communities.
