Subject Activity Strand Content
From investigating the functions of microscopic cells to helping world-class athletes perform for crowds of millions, science plays a key role in our understanding, maintenance, and treatment of the human body.
The Biological, Human, and Sport Sciences subject activity strand combines three of our key disciplines – Biosciences, Sport and Health Science, and Nutrition – to introduce students to the huge range of study options, research, and career pathways available within the field of science. Participants will develop key skills and insights into our courses, and have the opportunity to learn from academic staff, researchers, and current undergraduates about their jobs, lives, and ambitions at the University of Exeter.
This subject activity strand has contributions from the following degree programmes:
- BSc Sport and Health Sciences (including Exercise Sport and Health Science)
- BSc Nutrition
- BSc Biosciences (including Biochemistry)
