Diploma of Higher Education in Sport and Exercise Science

The Diploma of Higher Education in Sport and Exercise Science programme offered by the University of Portsmouth is primarily concerned with the analysis and enhancement of sporting and exercise performance from both a performer’s and scientist’s perspective. To reflect the varying areas explored in this domain, there are four main themes to the course which include: Exercise and Health Physiology, Sport and Exercise Psychology, Kinesiology and Biomechanics, and Research Methods and Skills in Higher Education. It is deemed by the Department that a thematic approach enables students to study the science of sport from a multi-disciplinary perspective whilst having an introduction to inter-disciplinary study.
