The main changes to your course will be the way in which we deliver your scheduled sessions. This

will be via a mixture of online lectures, seminars and tutorials and on-campus seminars, practicals

and tutorials. Where group sizes allow, your course will be delivered through face to face on-

campus sessions in both theory and practical components. This applies to smaller groups which can

be accommodated within the Government prescribed and University of Brighton interpreted rules

on social distancing. In larger groups which cannot be accommodated within the guidelines,

lectures will be online through a mix of recorded lectures, live online lectures or seminars on

Microsoft Teams, followed by small-group repeated on-campus laboratory practicals or seminars.

It is not considered that the adaptations to individual module and overall course delivery will

impact on your ability to achieve the learning outcomes of the course.

You will access learning through MyBrighton, the University Virtual Learning Environment (formerly

known as studentcentral). The balance of scheduled and independent study will not change.

The majority of assessments will remain unchanged. Details are provided below on any major

changes to assessment methods. Additional minor changes, such as on campus presentations being

changed to online presentations via Microsoft Teams, will be made if required due to future

changes in government guidelines.

independence of students. The approach of applied learning linking theory closely to practice should allow development of content knowledge, technical competencies and soft skills in the students as they progress through their course. For example, individual and group tutorials help to direct students’ work, develop critical and practical understanding, and provide underpinning support for self-development. The School also recognises the importance of informal learning arrangements which students encounter individually or in peer groups through non-contact research and study. The overall aim is to provide a learning experience which will enable students to develop the knowledge, analytical skills and communication skills needed to work effectively using a scientific philosophy and knowledge base in academic or applied settings within sport and exercise.

In recognition of the importance of developing well-rounded graduates, the course takes a formal, structured approach to the development of employability attributes and skills, with a clearly defined set of core modules at levels 4, 5 and 6 (SE403, SE570, SE571, SE590 and SI603) that embed career and employability support into the curriculum using the following approach:-

L4 - Beginning to be a practitioner: students start to develop an understanding of themselves in the world of SES and how this relates to normative data/ athletes/ other populations. In SE403 Integrated and Applied Studies students develop content knowledge and key soft skills through practical experiences and reflect on key professional and personal criteria for being a practitioner in sport/exercise.

L5 - Becoming a practitioner: In the core physiology, biomechanics and psychology modules (SE570, SE571 and SE590) students extend their application of knowledge in a practical context using problem- based and work-based learning, and develop further technical, interpersonal and reflective (self- reflection and self-evaluation) skills.

L6 - Being a practitioner: Students undertake a work placement in the Personal and Professional Development (SI603) module, thereby developing their exposure to potential employers and enabling them to apply theoretical knowledge and practical skills to a professional setting. Students critically reflect on their work experience and personal performance, and evaluate the individual skills, knowledge and ability required to fulfil specific roles, thus managing and enhancing the development of their profile for future employment. Students develop additional advanced subject-specific competencies in the specialist optional modules at L6.

External speakers give students exposure to sport and exercise science contexts and professional networks and the curriculum also has input from the Careers Service. Employability skills are also embedded in a number of other modules. Examples include SI524 whereby the students undertake vocational experience, SE470, SI522, SI528, SI529, SI601, SI608, SI628, SI629 whereby students undertake physiological, psychological or performance assessment and feedback to a client, requiring a number of softer skills. Students produce assessment tasks closely linked to ‘real world’ work, such as SI627 and SI630 grant proposals and SI621 case studies. Further, there are a number of opportunities to improve presentation skills from level 4 (SE426, SE403) onwards (SE525, SI528, SI524, DI603, SI621, SI672, SI628, SI630). At levels 5 and 6 students receive career based academic tutorials.

Modules within the course utilise blended learning, whereby online content and learning will prepare students for interactive lectures, e.g. in SE525 (online videos of how to run statistical tests prepare students for data analysis computer workshops) and SI628 (online physical competency assessment, videos on how to use equipment and perform analysis, and online visual coaching resource, all of which support learning in the lectures and practical sessions.

ASSESSMENT

Assessment methods

This section sets out the summative assessment methods on the course and includes details on where to find further information on the criteria used in assessing coursework. It also provides an assessment matrix which reflects the variety of modes of assessment, and the volume of assessment in the course.

The information included in this section complements that found in the Key Information Set (KIS), with the programme specification providing further information about how the course is assessed.

The School’s assessment strategy is in line with the University’s Assessment Policy and the School’s Code of Practice in Assessment, which was used in the preparation of this programme.

of 21

The importance of both formative and summative assessment is recognised. Formative assessment is included in every module, with details of the nature of the formative assessment and how and when students receive feedback set out in individual module specification documents.

All module assessments are linked to the module learning outcomes and are assessed in line with the University’s marking/grading descriptors for undergraduate levels 4, 5 and 6. These descriptors, along with any module-specific guidelines and marking criteria are included in the module outline. Examination mark schemes for year two and three work are reviewed by external examiners.

Assessment design is aligned to the University’s Assessment Policy and is regularly discussed and reviewed as part of the programme monitoring and evaluation process. In particular, special attention is paid to:

inclusivity

the appropriateness of assessment to the curriculum

designing assessments which encourage learning and engagement for all learners

aligning assessment with learning outcomes

At every level of study, in at least one core module, students are able to choose an alternative assessment. At Level 4 and Level 5 the modules (SE403 and SE525) offer students a variety of assessment modes within one assessment task, and the majority of modules offer a choice of assessment topic. At Level 6 in the core Dissertation and Personal and Professional Development modules, students may choose to study an area of specific interest. At Level 6 students can choose 60 credits of optional modules to suit their assessment preference.

At Level 4, students have the opportunity for “In Year Module Retrieval” that allows students to reattempt failed work before the summer resit period.

Assessments where possible and in line with School policy will be subject to anonymous marking and moderation. Moderation may occur as part of a team-teaching design, or with one main tutor involved in the module being assigned to monitoring/evaluation and moderation. In particular, dissertations are all subject to unseen double-marking. Any outstanding differences will then be resolved through discussion between markers, and if necessary through the use of an additional marker. Any dissertations where grading proved hard to resolve will be drawn to the attention of external examiners for their comments.

PART 3: COURSE SPECIFIC REGULATIONS

COURSE STRUCTURE

This section includes an outline of the structure of the programme, including stages of study and progression points. Course Leaders may choose to include a structure diagram here.

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

The first and second year of the course provide a breadth of knowledge across the core modules of sport and exercise science; namely, biomechanics, physiology, and psychology. At Level 6/in the third year, students choose the focus of their Dissertation and Personal and Professional Development work, eg with an emphasis on sport performance or health-related fitness. An increasing amount of choice from Level 5 to Level 6 allows students to specialise and to pursue personal interests, or enables them to maintain breadth to their degree if they are less sure of their career direction. Through the modular system, students can choose options to specialise in areas of teaching and coaching physical activities and social science/leisure cultures. The application of students’ understanding is fundamental to sport and exercise science and therefore, is emphasised throughout the degree but becomes much more of a focus within the choice modules at Level 5 and 6. The course has a clearly defined set of core modules at levels 4, 5 and 6 (SE403, SE570, SE571, SE590 and SI603) that embed career and employability support into the curriculum. In addition, there is a ‘thread’ of research methods throughout the degree (SE426, SE525 and embedded in DI603), that come together in the work of the dissertation (DI603), but also in many of the other choice level 6 modules.

Students will take 360 credits over the period of study of which 260 credits will be compulsory modules, including the 40 credit dissertation module. The compulsory modules at Level 4 are:

SE403 – Integrated and Applied Studies (20 credits)

SE426 - The Scientific Study of Sport and Exercise (20 credits)

SE470 - Sport and Exercise Physiology (20 credits)

SE471 - Musculoskeletal Anatomy and Fundamental Biomechanics (20 credits)

SE490 - Foundations of Sport and Exercise (20 credits)

LE434 – Sport, the Body and Society (20 credits)

At Level 4, students will share some of their modules with students on other degree routes. Assessment at Level 4 is designed to require students to demonstrate a sound grasp of fundamental material and the ability to conceptualise and analyse issues in a broad context. At Level 4 students may transfer onto either the Strength & Conditioning degree or the Exercise, Health and Rehabilitation Science degree as their potential career aspirations may change following exposure to different content in the formative stages of their degree. These degrees share 100 module credits with the Sport and Exercise Science degree at Level 4.

The compulsory modules at Level 5 are:

SE525 - Data Analysis and Research Methods (20 credits)

SE570 - Applied Sport and Exercise Physiology (20 credits)

SE571 - Biomechanics of Sport and Exercise (20 credits)

SE590 - Sport and Exercise Psychology (20 credits)

Students complete 40 credits of optional modules during Level 5 / Year 2. Of the optional modules taken during Level 5 / Year 2, at least 20 credits must be taken from modules provided by the School’s Sport and Exercise Science area

The compulsory modules at Level 6 are:

DI603 - Dissertation (40 credits)

SI603 – Personal and Professional Development (20 credits)

of 21

The Dissertation and Personal and Professional Development will be focussed on an topic related to sport and exercise science. Students complete 60 credits of optional modules during Level 6 / Year 3. Of the optional modules taken during Level 6 / Year 3, at least 40 credits must be taken from modules provided by the School’s Sport and Exercise Science area. These specialist modules require synthesis, critical reflective independent evaluation and a capacity for innovative problem-solving thinking in Sport and/or Exercise Science.

Students will normally only be able to choose Level 5 optional modules in Level 5 / Year 2 and optional modules in Level 6 / Year 3.
