Welcome to the department

The Department of Sport, Health and Exercise Science is one of Hull’s success stories.

Although we’re relatively new, investment and our popular degree programmes have helped us become one of the university’s fastest-growing departments.

We offer undergraduate degrees in sport and exercise science, sports coaching and sports rehabilitation, as well as postgraduate research degrees. During your studies you’ll be supported by friendly and experienced staff.

We’re proud of the quality of our teaching. In the latest National Student Survey around 90% of students agreed our staff were enthusiastic and made their subject interesting to study.

Our teaching is supported by our impressive facilities which include:

• Extensive exercise physiology teaching labs
• A health and human performance lab
• A sports rehabilitation suite
• A performance analysis suite
• A new heat chamber
• A newly refurbished sports and fitness centre

What else do we offer?

We carry out research that’s internationally important. We’re investigating topics such as the use of GPS technology in professional team sports, the effect of exercise on heat shock protein expression, and the gait patterns of people with altered lower limb mechanics.
