Welcome to the

Department of Exercise
& Sport Science

The Department is one of the most successful in the area of Exercise and Sport Science in the UK.

The Department has a strong research profile and nearly half the staff were returned in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise with over 75% rates as International standard, for more information visit the Institute for Performance Research (IPR). A good proportion of the sport science support for World Class Performance Programmes is based within the Department and this has led to applied research specifically designed to support athletics, canoeing, climbing, football, hockey, rowing, shooting, swimming, and sports for disabled athletes.
