Summary
Our BSc (Hons) Sport, Health and Exercise Science degree, launched in September 2021, brings together many of the previous sports courses offered by Easton College and City College Norwich into a single coherent programme.
This programme will include a Sport, Health and Exercise Science pathway, which all students will be initially enrolled on, with students able to select an optional pathway in year two. These optional pathways will be in either Health, Fitness, Strength and Conditioning, or Coaching and Development, to allow for students to concentrate on particular areas within sports science. Please note that the optional pathways will only be offered in year two in cases where minimum group sizes of six are maintained.
Depending on the pathway taken in the second year of study, students will achieve one of the following awards:-
BSc (Hons) Sport, Health and Exercise Science
BSc (Hons) Sport, Health and Exercise Science (Health, Fitness, Strength and Conditioning)
BSc (Hons) Sport, Health and Exercise Science (Coaching and Development)
With excellent links with numerous fitness centres, sports clubs, governing bodies and organisations in the region, students have the invaluable opportunity to develop their vocational experience alongside their studies. Not only can this provide scope for students to apply for internships or additional qualifications, it further establishes the necessary skills required to secure employment upon completion of the course.
NB this programme will be delivered across both our Easton College and City College Norwich sites, in order to utilise the range of facilities at these locations.
