thank you for sharing! i'm thinking of furthering my studies in sports and exercise science and this gave me a better perspective on how it's like and make a more informed decision 😊
I am in a dilema of whether I should further my studies to. Am at Kenyatta university in Kenya and in Kenya there's no such opportunities for exercise and sports science
I am a sport science major student from Hong Kong. In HK there are only few university offer sport-related degree, as most of them are mainly aim for training a qualified P.E. teacher, even with the sport science or sport management degree. The society in HK always thinks that sport science/ sport-related major are only for people who are not getting a good result in the pubic exam, but in HK sport science is also a degree that difficult to get in which is others unexpected. They think that it is easy to get a good GPA in our major, but it is not. We got a good GPA is only because we are really passionate on what we are studying. People always think that we(sport-related major students) would only be a P.E. teacher or coach, as we also have a professional knowledge and training in our field. Although the study content may not deep as other program around the world, nearly all topic related to sport and exercise(e.g. biomechanics, psychology, physiology, sociology, sport management etc.) we need to learnt though our university years. It is upset for us, as you when people saying our degree as a 'worthless' degree. Our major is not only for being a coach or a teacher, our major is also a professional degree, although it may not give us a good career path directly. As there are lots stereotype/ misconception on sport major students, but we know that we are also not easy to finish our degree. Thank you for sharing your experience and clarify misconception, wish your video can help more people who want to study with sport major or understand what sport major is actually doing. sorry for messy writing
Yet in terms of a long term career I think I’d like to either be a PE teacher at college talking about modules ,yet I’m thinking of physiotherapy but I’d need to do a lot of research into that area
Sounds like you have a lot of options that you are open to do. I was definitely just sit down and compare all of theses courses to see which is better suited to you.
I am not sure sorry, i imagine there are more similarities than differences to the degrees. medical science sounds like you would go into a deeper physiological level then I did during my studies.
So glad I found your page. I want to pick sports science next year but my actual goal was physiotherapy and the entry requirements are too high. Can I still do sports science and still get a career in Physiotherapy somehow?
@@shantellepage2926 I did sport science and I am studying physiotherapy right now. I would not say there they are similar, but maybe that is because I am doing MSc physiotherapy. My undergraduate is providing me with a good base of knowledge.
@@ArrayRay_physio so you basically switched from sport science to physiotherapy? Or after you got the degree in sports science you choose to study physio
@@shantellepage2926 I completed my degree in sports science and then took a gap year and applied for my masters. I have wanted to be a physiotherapist for years so I made the progession
I’d like to either do sports science degree or sports coaching .Yet isn’t it better to do a coaching course through a national governing body for the sport
I do not know a lot about coaching or the courses. I think it will depend on the modules and how fast you want to be qualified etc. If the coaching degree and the course cover the same content then I would go for the course as I imagine it's cheaper and faster.
@@ArrayRay_physio yes true but I’m just trying to read university modules as I’m currently going into year 13 so this is my time to research and do my personal statement
Hii is there any way I can contact you personally? I’m in my 2nd year of uni studying sports science and I really wanna do physiotherapy like you but I’m just feeling so discouraged because I didn’t start off with a physio course
Hi, I would say if you wish to study a degree that has coaching as the main focus then sport and exercise science may not be for you. I would personally just do a coaching degree. However, if you look at the modules on offer at the universities you're interesting in and they appeal to you, go for it.
Yes, you can do physiotherapy after the degree. I plan to take MSc physiotherapy and for many universities I did not have to do extra steps. I just had to get a 2.1 and have relevant experience
@@arsalan7x720 hey sorry about this had some issues and moved it to Saturday coming. Its all ready to go cover research, entry requirements and personal statement tips.
Hey I'm thinking of switching from pharmacy because I really hate labs Is it the same with sports science (alot of labs) I like more coursework I.e: academic work
Hi! Would you recommend this course to someone who wants to be a mental performance coach. I feel the sport science gives you a proper understanding of S&C, nutrition and psychology but i would want to specialise in psychology. What would you suggest?
Thank you for you quick response. Im currently still in college doing my L3 Sport Science. It is something i have been thinking about because i saw a course that has a to foundation year attached to it on strength and conditioning and nutrition. Do you know from your experience if i would be able to master in a psychology course after that ?@@ArrayRay_physio
Good luck with your graduating upcoming graduating next year. Unfortunately I'm not sure what is classed as a good GPA because im not from the USA sorry
You have to do another degree, either a BSc or pre-reg masters or an approved apprenticeship. I chose to do a pre-reg masters. If you're interested in how to go about that or what's its like check our my 'Road to physio' playlist
@@shehnafaizel8744 It has maths in nutrition, biomechanics & physiology (core modules). There is physics in biomechanics and a bit im physiology I guess but its not completed once you grasp it
@@ArrayRay_physio finally I have graduated highschool.so i am planning on going to uk for bsc hon sports and exercise science degree .how much does it cost on an average for an international student for a year?
@@shehnafaizel8744 Congratulations on graduating. For an international student I believe the costs differs depending on the university so I can not give you an estimate.
@@mosesigiehon8571 I originally went to the Univeristy of Kent then I transferred to Hertfordshire. It was not one of my original 5 choices. From the original 5 I can only remember applying to the university of Bath, I think I considered Coventry but didn't apply, I got into Brunel in London but the other choices I can not remember. Sorry it 7 years ago so I dont quite remember.

I have a degree in sports and exercise from Ghana 🇬🇭. Thanks for this video
This is really interesting! I like the thought of interdisciplinary teaching! This is what my research interests are ♥️
I really enjoyed that teaching approach, for me it really helped me identify new areas of interest. I hope your research is going well :)
thank you for sharing! i'm thinking of furthering my studies in sports and exercise science and this gave me a better perspective on how it's like and make a more informed decision 😊
Im glad that you found my video insightful. The best of luck with everything 🙂

What were your choices for uni?
Great video! I found this really eye opening and motivating!
Great video 🙏🏿, sending this to my Dad to convince him
Thank you, aww I hope he comes around to the idea
Love this. So informative. I studied Sports Science.
Thank :) im glad you enjoyed it. Sport science is a really good degree to have
And how are you doing? Is true that it is a useless degree? Bc i am studying this carrer

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your experience with me. Too many people are misinformed about the degree which leads to misconceptions.
Yet in terms of a long term career I think I’d like to either be a PE teacher at college talking about modules ,yet I’m thinking of physiotherapy but I’d need to do a lot of research into that area
Sounds like you have a lot of options that you are open to do. I was definitely just sit down and compare all of theses courses to see which is better suited to you.
Good I found this. I am in Africa Ghana reading Sports and exercise medical science may I ask how different it is from Sports and exercise science
I am not sure sorry, i imagine there are more similarities than differences to the degrees. medical science sounds like you would go into a deeper physiological level then I did during my studies.
@@ArrayRay_physio Alright. That makes much sense now. Thank you so much
You're welcome
Please am an shs graduate and I want to read sports can you please add me on WhatsApp so I get more information concerning the course
has sport science got lots of maths in it? i struggled with maths but want to study sport science next year at brighton
The biomechanics module has quite a bit of maths involved the other modules are not too much. Good luck with Brighton
So glad I found your page. I want to pick sports science next year but my actual goal was physiotherapy and the entry requirements are too high. Can I still do sports science and still get a career in Physiotherapy somehow?
I read that both courses are similar
@@shantellepage2926 I did sport science and I am studying physiotherapy right now. I would not say there they are similar, but maybe that is because I am doing MSc physiotherapy. My undergraduate is providing me with a good base of knowledge.

Hey, im sorry to hear that you're feeling down, you can reach me on insta at ArrayRay_physio
What is the specialization
The degree could take you into various areas. Nutrition, exercise physiologist, coaching, sport or exercise psychologist, teacher, physiotherapist etc
Would you recommend this course for someone who a passion to go into football coaching? Thanks
Hi, I would say if you wish to study a degree that has coaching as the main focus then sport and exercise science may not be for you. I would personally just do a coaching degree. However, if you look at the modules on offer at the universities you're interesting in and they appeal to you, go for it.
@@ArrayRay_physio thanks. I was also wondering will me doing the foundation year of this course help me with the basics of the course?
@@th3silversurfer Sorry but I dont know enough about foundation years to comment.
Hi , so when you're done with your masters you can work as a clinical physiotherapist?
Yes, once I have registered as a qualified physiotherapist.
Can you do physiotherapy after this degree and are there additional steps you need to take such as MSc in Physiotherapy?
Yes, you can do physiotherapy after the degree. I plan to take MSc physiotherapy and for many universities I did not have to do extra steps. I just had to get a 2.1 and have relevant experience
I plan on making a video about how to apply for physiotherapy in the next few weeks, if you want to stick around and check that out :).
@@ArrayRay_physio still waiting for this video!

Is it the same with sports science (alot of labs)
I like more coursework I.e: academic work
Hey, sorry to hear that you didn’t like pharmacy. I would say that we had more coursework than labs but it depends on the modules you select
Hi! Would you recommend this course to someone who wants to be a mental performance coach. I feel the sport science gives you a proper understanding of S&C, nutrition and psychology but i would want to specialise in psychology. What would you suggest?
I agree with you. You could also look just doing a strength and conditioning degree if you want more of that side of things

I'm set to graduate this summer 2022, I mainly wanted to do this for physical therapy school. What is a good GPA to have for dpt school?
Good luck with your graduating upcoming graduating next year. Unfortunately I'm not sure what is classed as a good GPA because im not from the USA sorry
lets say i now have a degree for sport and exercise science what should i do so that i can qualify for physiotherapist
You have to do another degree, either a BSc or pre-reg masters or an approved apprenticeship.
I chose to do a pre-reg masters. If you're interested in how to go about that or what's its like check our my 'Road to physio' playlist
@@ArrayRay_physio ok thank you so much , lemme check your playlist
What A levels did you do ?
I studied Level 3 Btec sports and AS citizenship at Sixth-form
Or teaching physical education
Yep
All real I hear these every sing day from my parents
The struggle is real haha
