Overview

They're proud to be the first Russell Group university to offer a British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited Sport and Exercise Psychology course from Newcastle University . Delivered by expert academics and practitioners, they combine cutting-edge theory and real-world application.

They explore the psychological principles underpinning sport and exercise, using evidence-based practice and critical reflection. The students engage in real-world tasks such as podcasts, academic posters, and client-style case studies that mirror professional roles. They're commended by the BPS for our assessment design. This small cohort size ensures every student receives tailored feedback and mentoring.

The BPS Qualification in Sport and Exercise Psychology

or the Sport and Exercise Psychology Accreditation Route (SEPAR) via BASES
