The Department has a long tradition in delivering physical education and sports science degrees.
Sport and Exercise Science Department
We are immensely proud of the tradition the Department has for delivering high quality degrees, as well as the quality of our teaching and our rapidly developing research pedigree in Sport and Exercise Sciences (SES). Our standing in various league tables for SES reflects, among other things, the very high score achieved in the last Teaching Quality Assessment exercise and the national and international profile of staff research, reflected in the fact that we were in the top 20 of all SES departments ranked in the last Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) 2008. Student satisfaction surveys rank us highly among the increasing number of sports-related degrees elsewhere and research-informed teaching is at the forefront of our activities at all levels.
The Department offers BA and BSc degrees in Sport and Exercise Sciences and Sports Development. In addition, we deliver an internationally renowned MSc programme in the Sociology of Sport & Exercise and a highly successful MSc programme in Sports Sciences with a strong focus on applied work. We also have very successful Foundation Degree programmes in Sports Coaching and Fitness and Health.
All undergraduate and postgraduate programmes are staffed by a good balance of well-qualified, research-active staff who are, first and foremost, teachers with a breadth of professional backgrounds in PE teaching, sports development, sports science support, coaching, personal training combined with an interesting array of national and international sports-related achievements.
Please do not hesitate to contact us at ses@chester.ac.uk and your query will be forwarded to the appropriate person. Alternatively, you can contact any member of staff specifically by using the contact details on the Department Staff page. We hope that you enjoy your visit to our site.
