Strength and Conditioning in Sport brings together the application of sports and exercise science to maximise the physical preparation of athletes.

This degree offers students the opportunity to develop knowledge, understanding, and practical skills in applied strength and conditioning, physiology, biomechanics, and nutrition.

It aims to prepare students to provide strength and conditioning support to athletes, and work in the University's Strength and Conditioning Clinic. A number of professional qualifications are integrated into the curriculum that students may choose to undertake alongside their degree at no extra cost. These include Gym Instruction, Personal Training, and Exercise Referral.
