Sport and Exercise Science explores how the human body performs under different levels of pressure. It also covers the broader issues at play, from wider participation in sports and exercise, to ethics, sports psychology and nutrition.

Sports science is the application of scientific principles to human performance via the interdisciplinary approaches of physiology, psychology and biomechanics. St Mary’s has a long tradition of excellence in sport-related degrees. Our Sport and Exercise Science degree is endorsed by the British Association of Sport and Exercise Scientists (BASES) (pathway-specific) and many staff are active professional members of BASES.
