Program Summary

Program Description

The University of Chester's Centre for Foundation Studies offers programmes that enable students to progress to a wide variety of undergraduate degrees across the University.  Specialist tutors and excellent pastoral and academic support are available, and subject specific areas of study relating to the chosen degrees programme are integrated within the Foundation pathways.  The programmes are designed to offer a specialist pathway for international students that do not currently meet the University's direct entry requirements.

The Centre for Foundation Studies is equipped to provide international students with all the support they need for a welcoming and enjoyable experience in the city and University of Chester.  

Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Sport and Exercise Sciences

The Department of Sport and Exercise Sciences prides itself on its approachable staff and varied teaching strategies, which external examiners and current students praise highly. In using a student-centred approach, they produce graduates with subject expertise and career potential. The practical and applied nature of the course is a major feature.

In recent years, the sports, recreation and leisure industries have shown continued growth. International success and the growing health agenda has ensured that investment and interest in sport and exercise in the UK continues to increase substantially.

Therefore, the course is designed with two core principles in mind. Firstly, the development of knowledge, applied skills and analytical techniques in the conventional sub-disciplines of sport and exercise sciences. Secondly, the orientation of studies around vocational opportunities and practices, including PE, sports management, development, coaching, health promotion, leisure and recreation, as well as sport science support and sport and exercise sciences generally.
