Hi, I'm Steve.
I'm the Programme Director for Sport and Exercise Science.
Our programme is designed based on principles of sport
and exercise science, but primarily biomechanics, psychology and physiology.
It provides lots of career opportunities
and is underpinned by some fantastic facilities.
We've got an environmental chamber where we can take you to the top of
Everest without leaving the lab.
We've got a ten camera 3D motion capture system
and we've also got a new DEXA machine coming in so we can look at body
composition and bone mineral density.
As well as that, we've got a £16 million updated
sports centre, including high performance strength and conditioning suite.
In your final year, we provide you with the opportunity to undertake a placement.
This can be in a sport and exercise science
performance discipline, or it can be in a health discipline.
So some of the sports partnerships we've got are working with Hull KR, Hull
FC Academy, Hull City FC Academy,
and our own Talented Athlete Programme.
In the health and wellbeing domain we've got students working in cardiac
rehab, in weight management programme and exercise prescription.
The programme is underpinned by core principles of Sport and Exercise Science.
In your final year, however, you get the opportunity to specialise
via optional modules and via your dissertation project,
which will be supervised by a research- active or practice-active academic.
