You'll benefit from research-inspired teaching and academic collaborations with industry and professional athletes
This unique degree can lead to further study opportunities, a variety of biological science and sport-related employment opportunities, and jobs in other fields thanks to its application of theory to the real world

Course Content
This degree programme allows you to study scientific aspects of health, physical activity and molecular and cellular biology and recognises the importance that exercise can play in the prevention and treatment of disease. You will receive a thorough grounding in the study of human and molecular biology together with the various sub-disciplines of exercise and sport sciences, including biomechanics, kinesiology, human and applied physiology, molecular biology, genetics and medical microbiology.

The modules we outline here provide examples of what you can expect to learn on this degree course based on recent academic teaching. The precise modules available to you in future years may vary depending on staff availability and research interests, new topics of study, timetabling and student demand.

Year 1

Develop a foundation in exercise science and biology. Practical work is designed to complement your lectures. You will receive training in key scientific skills as part of the Fundamental Principles for Bioscientists module, which includes tutorials.

Compulsory modules
- Fundamental Principles for Bioscientists
- Genetics
- Microbiology
- Cells
- Human Anatomy and Kinanthropometry
- Human Physiology
- Foundations of Biomechanics
- Bioenergetics
Year 2
- Research Skills and Bioethics
- Exercise Physiology
- Biomechanics and Kinesiology
- Quantitative Research Methods
Year 3

You have the opportunity to focus on areas of biology and exercise and sport sciences that particularly interest you. During the first two terms you will undertake a project/dissertation centred on the research work of a member of staff in either Sport and Health Sciences or Biosciences. Under their academic supervision, you will develop the skill set needed to move forward as a science graduate.
- Biosciences Research Project
- Dissertation
- Independent Research Review
- Dissertation (Physiology)
- Independent Research Review (Physiology)
Entry Requirement
For these we require minimum aggregate scores of 80%, or 70% for the West Bengal Board Standard XII. Other regional board standard XII exams can be considered on an individual basis, but we usually require an aggregate score of at least 85%.

Fees & Scholarships

The cost of studying at University of Exeter varies largely depending on the type of university and the degree chosen. More often than not, humanities, arts, and education courses are less expensive than degrees in medical, engineering, or management. Furthermore, students who choose to study at the postgraduate level typically pay higher tuition fees, which again vary depending on the programme chosen.

Most universities provide scholarships or financial aid to students in order to help them offset their tuition costs. Students should be aware that additional course fees and incidental expenses may not be included in tuition.The tuition fees for this program is To Be Confirmed.
