On our Sport and Exercise Science degree course at ARU, you’ll explore the scientific principles and techniques that underpin health, wellbeing and sporting performance.
Sports and exercise scientists can work at all levels, from the general population to elite performance – and our course prepares you for that.
You’ll study the nature of the human machine: how this operates when engaged in sport and exercise, and how to interpret and evaluate its responses.
Our students are based in the Cambridge Centre for Sports and Exercise Sciences. Here, you’ll learn to work safely and ethically as a sport and exercise scientist in our laboratories. There’s the chance to hear from world-leading guest speakers too, through our Excellence in Sports seminar series; and to take part in training opportunities, such as working as a strength and condition coach or as part of the student led Physiology testing consultancy team.
As you’d expect from a university that’s passionate about sport, you’ll find an array of array of sports clubs and societies here.
And to top it all off, there’s financial support on offer for talented athletes.
