Strength and Conditioning (S&C) is an integral component of many amateur and professional sports and the need for trained professionals is growing all the time. Here at Abertay, you can study the only undergraduate Strength and Conditioning degree in Scotland. 

Work with athletes, players, and teams; refine their performance; boost their training, enable development. On our BSc Sports Performance and Coaching, you learn how science and practice underpins performance sport. A comprehensive knowledge of scientific theory and practical application is essential for those wanting to coach from grassroots to elite level, across all sports.

This program examines both the theoretical and practical aspects of the multi-faceted field of sport performance. This major is taken as part of a Bachelor of Kinesiology (BKin) degree, which takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of human movement, examining both the arts-based and science-based aspects of Kinesiology and allows you to specialize in an area of study.

How can athletes optimise their training and performance? How can individuals and communities improve their physical activity, health and well-being? Our inter-disciplinary team of scientists and practitioners will help you understand the role of physiology, psychology, biomechanics and nutrition in sports and exercise science.
