The Science of Human Performance
Sport science brings together a range of different disciplines and focuses on the scientific principles behind exercise performance. It combines branches of science, including physiology, psychology, biomechanics, and nutrition to open up a wide range of potential careers across a number of industries.
Placements and Practical Experience
Through our excellent professional links with the fitness industry, and our engagement with employers, we're ensuring that market needs and employer expectations are considered throughout our curriculum. Our students can undertake applied assessments and work placements in real-world settings to gain practical experience and a competitive edge when they graduate. We have strong links with the local community and work closely with Lincoln City Football Club, Lincoln United, and Lincolnshire Cricket, as well as the Students’ Union, providing opportunities for students to offer coaching or sport science support to local teams.

The programmes have been endorsed against rigorous criteria which represent employability standards for professional roles in the sport and physical activity sector.
