Our extended sports science degree gives you a wide knowledge of the subject and has an extra year to prepare you for degree-level study. You’ll need lower entry points than for our three-year course.

Our extended degree in sports science will develop your knowledge of sports physiology, biomechanics, nutrition and psychology, and performance analysis. Using advanced sports science equipment, you'll explore these areas in the lab and through the study of a sport or health-related exercise of your choice.

The degree begins with a foundation year to build up your study skills for subsequent years. You'll then follow the same curriculum offered on our three-year course.

You'll put your new skills and knowledge into practice through work experience. Among the opportunities available across the sport and exercise science industry are placements at Charlton Athletic Football Club.

This degree has enabled graduates to work in areas such as football coaching, sports science support, sports development, and health education and promotion.

You may become self-employed as, for example, a personal trainer or sports adviser or continue on to postgraduate courses in areas such as teaching, physiotherapy or research.

We pay for qualifications and awards throughout your course in your chosen sport as the opportunity arises. Your course fees cover these additional qualifications and awards and enhance your future career opportunities.
