Course Overview
Our Bachelor of Science in Sports & Exercise with degree award options: Performance and Wellbeing or Physical Education, is a three-year programme that combines your passion for sports with a successful career progress through the course.
Studying sport or exercise at third level is an opportunity to harness your passion and combine it with the knowledge to build a wonderful career in either sports performance and wellbeing or physical education studies.
The first two years provide the core foundation of the degree, while the last two years allow you to specialise.
Our performance and wellbeing stream pairs research theory with a range of applied performance related areas including strength and conditioning, psychology and nutrition. Meanwhile our education stream pairs theory with curriculum based instructional models that focus on how physical activity and sport can be taught through games, aquatics, gymnastics, dance, athletics and outdoor adventure education.
