Sports and Exercise Science Year 12 Taster Day

We are committed to supporting the teaching of sports and exercise science in schools and colleges by extending key concepts in the discipline, showcasing cutting edge research and inspiring students to continue the study of the subject.

We are hosting a Year 12 Sports and Exercise Science Taster Day here at the Health Innovation Campus on Friday the 17th March, 2023. Students will be able to experience campus life first-hand and sample content delivered across the programme. With taster sessions in physiology, biomechanics and sports psychology, a short course overview, Q+A session, and chance to see the Sports and Exercise Science Students in action an exciting day will be had by all! There will be an opportunity to extend your day and allow students to go on a campus tour too.
