Sport and Exercise Sciences is a Group 3 subject which does not contribute to a Joint Honours degree within Natural Sciences and is also not from a Department within the Faculty of Sciences. Like any subject which is not part of a Joint-Honours route, Sport and Exercise Sciences is not guaranteed to work with your choice(s) of Group 1 science subject(s) but that does not stop you from pursuing Sport and Exercise Sciences, subject to the usual restrictions of Natural Sciences.

In BSc students' final year, they are required to take no less than 20 credits and no more than 60 credits of Capstone Modules. These modules are denoted with G
