Subject area

Sport and Exercise Science

Grouped here when the official title names sport, exercise science, kinesiology or physiotherapy where the framing is sport rather than clinical.

Sport and exercise science covers physiology, biomechanics, motor control, sport psychology and the management of sport, with laboratory and practical assessment alongside coursework.

The programmes below were read from institutions’ own catalogues and grouped here by U4S. That grouping is an editorial judgement about the published title, not a statement from any institution, and two programmes sitting on this page are not thereby equivalent — content, entry requirements and the qualification awarded can differ substantially between them and between countries.
