Spanish with Sport and Exercise Science - BA (Hons)

University of Chester

Our Spanish with Sport and Exercise Science combined honours degree course at Chester allows you to study a dynamic blend of language acquisition, cultural immersion, and applied sport sciences. You will not only develop a very high fluency level in Spanish, but you will also gain insights into the cultures, histories and sports of the Spanish-speaking world. You will have the chance to study abroad in Spain or Costa Rica on a five-to-eight-week placement at the end of your second year, and, if you wish, you can embark on an even bigger overseas adventure, spending a full year in Spain or Latin America, splitting your experience abroad across two countries. Whatever you decide to do, you will be able to enrich your language skills while engaging in real-world environments and will experience foreign cultures first-hand.As you pursue your study of Spanish, our expert lecturers in sport and exercise sciences (SES) will ensure you become equipped with scientific and vocational expertise in areas such as sport and exercise psychology, sport and exercise physiology, performance analysis, and biomechanics. Consequently, you will be provided with a comprehensive multidimensional perspective of SES. They have designed the course with two core principles in mind: the development of knowledge, applied skills and analytical techniques; and the orientation of studies around vocational opportunities and practices (including sport and exercise scientist, performance analyst, and employment in sports development, teaching, coaching, health promotion, and leisure and recreation). On top of this, by combining SES with a language, you will be prepared for careers within international sports organisations, health promotion, and education, where bilingualism and a deep understanding of SES is key. Whether you go on to work as a sports professional in a global context, or contribute to wellness programs in multicultural communities, you will find that your fluency in Spanish will give you a significant edge.
