Psychology in Sport and Exercise with Foundation Year Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

What helps people perform under pressure, remain motivated, and experience the benefits of physical activity? How do thoughts, emotions, relationships and team dynamics influence performance and wellbeing? Sport and exercise psychology uses scientific evidence to investigate these questions. 

On this BSc (Hons) Psychology in Sport and Exercise degree, you will explore human thought and behaviour through psychological theory, research and real-world application. You will gain a broad foundation in psychological science while developing a particular focus on sport and exercise.

This four-year course includes an initial full-time Foundation Year and offers an alternative route into university and gaining a degree.

This route is for you if you do not have the necessary qualifications or don’t yet feel ready to begin degree-level study, or are returning to education and would like some support to get up to speed with learning in a university setting.

The Foundation Year in Psychology will allow you to develop your academic skills and confidence as well as introduce you to key concepts, debates, and skills that will support and inform your subsequent years of undergraduate study.

Following successful completion of your Foundation Year, you’ll progress onto Year 1 of our BSc (Hons) Psychology in Sport and Exercise degree.
