The sport and exercise science sector largely recruits at graduate level. The sector has become more important as the link between physical activity and health is recognised. Jobs in the sector can be found in universities, in large sporting organisations, public and private enterprises, as well as in local authorities, or schools and colleges. Related areas such as sports development, performance analysis and research also provide employment opportunities. The qualification provides the knowledge, understanding and skills that will prepare you for further study or training to relevant sport science or related courses, for example Sport and Exercise Science, Sport Psychology or Applied Sport Science.
