Sport and Exercise Science
Career opportunities for sport and exercise science students have increased significantly in recent years and that rise looks set to continue.
Experts in psychology, physiology and biomechanics have helped professional sportsmen and women improve their everyday training and their ability to compete at the highest level.

College Courses
Studying at our Middleton campus...
You'll be no stranger to our state of the art Sports Park and Arena at our Middleton Campus. As well as our 3rd generation all-weather astroturf, our gym and fitness suites have all the latest technology in cardio and resistance equipment. We have personal training rooms for one-to-one tuition, along with teaching rooms full of equipment and learning materials.
I have nothing but happy memories of studying at Hopwood Hall. The tutors made sure the college experience was fun but also really valuable, I have grown a lot as a person because of it. I learned how important it is to keep on top of your work and manage your workload more independently.
