Join a university where you’re a name, not a number

Here, it’s personal. When you walk through our doors for the first time, you’re a valued member of a tight-knit community.

You’ll be taught by experts who know your name: tutors who work with both elite-level sports performers and NHS patients, and who’ve collaborated with FIFA, the International Olympic Committee and the World Anti-Doping Agency.

Our facilities are some of the best in the country following a recent £16 million investment – meaning you'll study the principles and theory that underpin sport, exercise and rehabilitation science using the latest equipment – and our degrees are fully accredited by the leading industry bodies.

On top of all that, you’ll be studying at the exclusive Official University Partner of Team GB. Nobody else can say that.

Top 15 in the UK

We're in the Top 15 for Value Added.1 That’s a metric that measures how likely our students are to graduate with a 1st or a 2:1.

95.3% employability³

Our graduates have gone on to work at the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City, or at specialist sports medicine hospitals in Qatar, to name a few.

£16 million

We've invested £16 million in new sports facilities, including a state-of-the-art gym and new pitches. So you'll be learning with the sector's most innovative technology.

Fully accredited

By the likes of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, the British Association of Sport Rehabilitators and Trainers, and the Sport and Exercise Nutrition Register.

Talented Athlete Programme

We award scholarships to high performing athletes. As well as a cash award, you get tailored support to suit you and your sport.

Team GB

Hull is the only Official University Partner of Team GB. That means exclusive opportunities that you can't get anywhere else.

Career focused

Placements are built into all of our degrees at the likes of Team GB and the NHS, or professional sports clubs such as Hull City, Hull KR and Hull FC.

Real work.
Real people.
Real opportunity.

All our courses are career-focused with work placements that are built into your degree. We have connections with professional sports teams such as Hull City, Hull FC and Hull KR – plus elite athletes from Team GB, local health providers and schools – so you’ll learn to apply the theory through hands-on placements in your area of interest.

You could even develop your experience at the University's Health, Injury and Performance (HIP) Hub, a student-led clinic that offers appointments to treat real patients from the local community.

What jobs can you get with a sport science degree?

Helping an athlete become a tenth of a second quicker to win gold. Or helping a vulnerable patient learn to walk again.

Two very different pathways. One shared starting point: a degree in sport science.

But don't just take our word for it. Hear it from the people who really know. In the video below, we asked a panel of current students, lecturers, employers and alumni where a sport science degree could take you.
