Jobs where your degree would be useful include:

Remember that many employers accept applications from graduates with any degree subject, so don't restrict your thinking to the jobs listed here.

Take a few minutes to answer the Job Match quiz and find out what careers would suit you

Work experience

Look for opportunities that match the career you'd like to go into. Try youth sport volunteering if you're interested in coaching, or get work experience in a school if you'd like to teach PE. Part-time work in a leisure centre is helpful, either in the admin and marketing side, or in fitness instruction and pool attendant work.

You can also gain great experience working in the sports section of a children's summer holiday scheme, in health promotion with local communities or in outdoor pursuit activities.

Search for placements and find out more about work experience and internships.

Typical employers

Jobs are available with a range of organisations in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors, including:

professional sports clubs

national sporting associations, governing bodies and other related sporting agencies

private health and fitness clubs, spas and public sports and recreation facilities

local authorities

schools, further education and higher education institutions

the health sector, including the NHS.

As a sport and exercise science graduate, you may also go on to set up your own business or consultancy.

Find information on employers in healthcare, leisure, sport and tourism, teacher training and education, and other job sectors.

Skills for your CV

A degree in sport and exercise science gives you an understanding of sports performance and the factors that affect behaviour in sport. You gain subject-specific knowledge in areas such as physiology, psychology, biomechanics and nutrition.

You'll also develop a set of core skills that can be used in lots of different careers, including:

research and data analysis

the ability to work on your own initiative and as part of a team

presentation and oral communication skills

written communication skills, including report writing

time management and planning

effective problem-solving

professionalism and customer focus

a good understanding of information technology.

Develop your career in sport and exercise science

AECC University College, Bournemouth is open for 2021 applications

Further study

Some sport-related careers require further study at postgraduate level. For example, if you want to become a sport and exercise psychologist you'll need to complete relevant accredited psychology qualifications. To get a job as a sports coach, you'll need to gain the appropriate coaching qualification that's offered by the national governing body of your chosen sport.

If you want to become a PE teacher, you can go on to complete a postgraduate teaching qualification. A Masters or PhD may open you up other teaching and research opportunities in higher education.

You could also go on to specialise by studying a different subject area, such as by studying journalism to become a sports journalist, law to advise about employment legalities and contracts for sports professionals, or marketing to carry out marketing activities for a sports venue.

For more information on further study and to find a course that interests you, see teacher training and education, Masters degrees and search postgraduate courses.

What do sport science graduates do?

Four of the top five jobs held by sport and exercise science graduates 15 months after graduation include secondary education teaching professionals, sports coaches, instructors and officials, fitness instructors and primary and nursery education teaching professionals.
