We conduct research that leads to real-world outcomes for everyone, from professional athletes and coaches to those undertaking exercise to maintain healthy living or overcome specific conditions.
We pride ourselves on enabling our students to learn from highly knowledgeable and dedicated lecturers, many of whom are practising professionals and industry leaders in their areas of expertise. What’s more, you’ll learn in some of the most advanced sports facilities found at an educational institution anywhere in the world.

We have 10 sports pitches including 3G all-weather surfaces, a medical centre and rehabilitation suite, as well as cross-training and power gyms. Our human performance and biomechanics laboratories include an anti-gravity treadmill and altitude chamber to aid recovery and promote performance fitness.
We’re committed to providing the highest standards of teaching excellence, investing more than £50 million in our specialist facilities on campus in the past decade. Our strong and growing relationships with international and national sports clubs and associations provides opportunities for students and research projects.
