BSc (Hons) Rehabilitation and Exercise Science with Foundation Year Bachelor's degree at Keele University

The module aims to prepare you to work in the sport, exercise, health and rehabilitation industry, developing transferable skills that can be applied in a variety of employment settings and specialties, alongside an understanding of and an appreciation for the learning and self-development opportunities available whilst studying at University.

The module introduces exercise testing and assessment of physical activity and fitness within healthy populations; with a strong focus on building communication skills relevant for professionals post graduation. You will also gain an insight into practicalities of exercise prescription and applied practice of patient management in an exercise setting, using relevant research to inform your approach.

Human Anatomy, Physiology and Movement introduces the normal anatomy, structure and function of the human musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory and neurological systems, and provides a important introduction to biomechanical movement science (including models of the human body; types of human motion; and linear kinematics).

This module introduces concepts of the roles for nutrition and physical activity as drivers for positive communities. You will also build your literature searching and application knowledge - skills that are crucial to success within any degree programme.

Explore the concept of health and wellbeing with a focus on primary prevention and health promotion. This module reflects on the shifting emphasis away from a medical disease model, towards a health model based on personal responsibility and prevention of disease.

In this module you will gain insight into practicalities of exercise prescription within apparently healthy populations who are at risk of developing long term conditions. Offering students the opportunity to gain external qualifications, increasing employability opportunities.

This module focuses on the primary theme of modifying/changing behaviour through application of models and principles of behaviour change to impact health and wellbeing, and enhance rehabilitation. You will learn the theories underpinning behaviour change and the scientific principles based on the theory. You will also be taught how to recognise the signs of non-adherence and how to select the most appropriate behaviour change model/principles to suit particular population groups (inactive, obes

The Evidence in Sports and Exercise Medicine module builds on content introduced in Year 1 and enables you to extract key information and begin to discuss literature relevant to practice. You will have the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills required to assess quality of research methodology both qualitative and quantitative, and understand common statistical terminology used for evidence based research.

This module introduces you to pathophysiology of disease and provides you with knowledge of underpinning exercise science principles in relation to health behaviour change and physical activity and exercise prescription in long term conditions.

This module will develop your knowledge and understanding of biomechanical procedures and process. You will develop your understanding around musculoskeletal injuries and gait patterns, using appropriate biomechanical instruments to assess activity.

The module builds on content introduced in Year 1 and Year 2 and offers you some choice in research themes/topics. The module reflects the shifting emphasis away from increasing the quantity of care, towards enhancing the quality of care - moving away from a medical disease model towards a health model based on personal responsibility and prevention of disease.

You will have the opportunity to use practical taught skills in a professional environment, and develop your employability skills to prepare you for the realities of working in the sport, exercise, and/or physical activity industry. Twenty hours of applied experiential learning will take place during the semester, on non teaching days. The university will provide support identifying opportunities (including on campus) however, you are encouraged to self source the opportunity.

This module will critically appraise the use and value of technology in sport, exercise, and performance. Through a combination of lectures and seminars, and lab-based practicals, you will be introduced to various contemporary wearable devices and sensors. In doing so, you will explore current and future applications of such technology, and their validity and reliability and use to support the to UN's Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages

This module complements the programme content introduced in Level 4 and in Level 5 in relation to the science of rehabilitation. The focus of this module is rehabilitation in sport; it will develop your understanding of the sports rehabilitation process, prevention and management of sports injuries and the impact of sports injuries, both physical and psychological.

The applied placement module allows you to use practical taught skills in a professional environment. It also offers opportunities to build relationships and gain skills that are crucial for employment and career aspirations.

The Sport and Exercise Project module runs across the full academic year, and offers you the opportunity to put into practice the scholarship and research methods skills developed over the programme. You can select to: (i) design, conduct and present their experimental research project as a journal article or conference poster defence; (ii) design, conduct and present your practice-based case study as an extended client report; or (iii) design and conduct an systematic review.

This module will complete the journey of exercise prescription from healthy populations, to those at risk and finally patients with a long term condition. The theoretical content in this module will allow students to continue working towards a nationally recognised qualification on completion of degree.

This module develops your knowledge and awareness of workplace related health, linking to various initiatives and health and safety regulations. It aims to develop your ability to apply knowledge authentically into work and learning environments.

This module offers you a broad-based introduction to key organisation and management principles with particular reference to exercise, health and rehabilitation settings. You will explore, analyse and critically evaluate the complex interrelationships and influences that operate within business, and identify how potential problems/opportunities in one area can influence another and offer reasoned strategies for their management. The module will use a problem based case study approach to enable y
