If you're interested in improving sporting performance, supporting athletes with their rehabilitation or understanding the health benefits associated with physical activity, this BSc (Hons) Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Science dual degree can help you turn your interest into a fulfilling career.

Based in Portsmouth and St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, you’ll use a combination of theory, research and practical laboratory techniques to understand and improve human performance, while minimising the risks of sport-related injuries. You'll develop tools to help everyone – from those who play sport for fun to elite athletes – get the most out of their exercise.

You’ll experience life in another country, taking in a new culture, and gain a global perspective on sport and exercise science that will help you secure your ideal career when you graduate.
