The BSc (Hons) Health and Exercise Psychology degree provides students with more contemporary ideas, attitudes and concepts related to health, exercise, and well-being.The declining levels of physical activity and concomitant increase in obesity and other health conditions relating to poor lifestyle behaviours highlights the need for the development of a broader comprehension and relevant skillset to impact the health and well-being of individuals in modern society. This includes the mental health of young people, where research continues to illustrate that there is a correlation between physical competence, levels of engagement with physical activity, and mental health.The programme is an ideal direction for students wishing to develop their knowledge and understanding in the broad contextual areas of Health and Exercise, and specifically the impact of psychology on multiple associated behavioural factors.It is also ideal for students looking to work in elite sport, support athlete development and inform the decision-making process, as well as in the identification and recruitment of athletes for high profile sports teams, national sports organisations, and international governing bodies.
