Location of University of Brighton
The course offers opportunities to cover a breadth of material relevant to the exercise and health science field, with a balance between academic rigour and application of scientific concepts. Students work alongside experienced practitioners in areas relevant to their personal interests. This experience allows them to apply the knowledge gained in other modules and to develop their professional abilities.
Suitable applicants would be sport science graduates wishing to move to an exercise application of their knowledge, exercise science graduates looking for opportunities to apply and develop their skills, or graduates from related sciences who wish to move into the exercise and health field.
Career and progression opportunities
Graduates are equipped to go on to careers promoting the links between exercise and health such as coordination of GP referral schemes, development of children's activity.

Course structure
Taught material is currently delivered on Wednesdays, facilitating study by part-time as well as full-time students. The taught material is split between lecture material and seminars/laboratory work. Around 80 per cent of study time is in the form of projects, independent study or a range of directed study tasks. The Professional Enquiry module is undertaken by all students and provides the opportunity to work alongside experienced practitioners in areas relevant to the student's interest. All students also study Health and Performance Profiling and Research Methods. Students undertake two route-specific modules such as Exercise Metabolism and Environmental Stress and Physiological Profiling (other route-specific modules may be available). Finally, the dissertation is expected to be on a relevant topic.
Areas of study
The subject areas covered draw predominantly on exercise physiology, and exercise psychology, with opportunities also available to study exercise biomechanics.
