健康与运动科学结合了科学，社会科学和公共卫生。您将加深对健康决定因素的了解，并研究体育锻炼，饮食和其他生活方式对健康的影响。该学位课程贯穿课程的三个核心主题：运动科学，行为医学和公共卫生。运动科学为人类功能提供了基本的跨学科理解。行为医学探索了我们如何利用运动科学原理来促进健康或治疗和预防疾病。公共卫生调查人口健康的决定因素，尤其关注体育锻炼和生活方式在人口健康中的作用。通过这些核心主题，您将把知识应用于健康和运动环境，并了解它们在当前实践中的相关性。<br> 4年制课程，全日制三明治年。
Health and Exercise Science combines science, social science and public health. You will develop your understanding of health determinants and investigate the impact of physical activity, diet and other lifestyle behaviours on health. This degree has three core themes running throughout the course: Exercise Science, Behavioural Medicine and Public Health. Exercise Science provides a fundamental interdisciplinary understanding of human function. Behavioural Medicine explores how we can use the principles of exercise science to promote health, or treat and prevent disease. Public Health investigates the determinants of population health, focusing particularly on the role of physical activity and lifestyle in the health of a population. Through these core themes you will apply your knowledge to health and exercise settings and understand their relevance in current practice. In your first year you'll build on your knowledge of human physiology, biomechanics and psychology, and develop your understanding of the role of physical activity on public health. You'll develop skills in research design and statistics. In your second year you'll gain more in-depth understanding of exercise, health and nutrition at different stages of life, for various clinical groups, and at the individual, community and population level. You'll explore how we communicate these health messages to different audiences. In your final year you'll carry out a year-long research project and study advanced units in areas such as nutrition, health technologies, sociology and exercise prescription.
