What's so good about Sports Biomedicine at Dundee?

Our Sports Biomedicine graduates will gain a wide range of specific skills and will be able to:

  • Undertake physiological testing for clinical patient groups, recreational exercisers and competitive sports people.
  • Design and administer sports coaching programmes.
  • Plan, manage and implement exercise-related public health campaigns.
  • Plan and implement physical activity programmes for clinical populations such as patients with heart disease, diabetes or osteoporosis.
  • Research the mechanisms that facilitate adaptation to exercise and identify genetic variation that determines high performance.
  • Plan, implement and manage cutting-edge research pertaining to the field of sports biomedicine.

Cara Martin, a Sports Biomedicine graduate, says: "It's very different to most sports courses, which often involve lots of coaching and training: it had a lot of research and was more about learning the medical background. I did it because I was a swimmer and interested in sport, but I found it interesting as it was so different to anything else."

Links with sports organisations

The Institute of Sport and Exercise collaborates with several sports organisations (Scottish Institute of Sport, sportscotland and Fitness Scotland) providing sports science support for elite athletes, including Olympic and World medallists.
