Sport and Exercise Science BASES accreditation

Hi sport science grad here,
BASES- is the British association of sport and exercise sciences. If a course is accredited it mean it reaches their standards in terms of learning content and delivery, and upon graduation the grandaunt can be apply to be a BASES accredited sport and exercise scientist if the pay a fee- this helps with employability in the sport science sector in Britain, especially in more competitive jobs- depends in the field of sport science you want to go in for example sports psychology. You can still get a job in the field without the accreditation but it does massively help with boosting your cv and making you stand out.

No once you’ve graduated you can get accredited I just believe it’s more than if your course was accredited but idk what the difference is. Also the course had additional benefits like additional available conferences from bases. Whilst I was offered a place at leeds, I went to uni of hudds which was bases accredited and I believe this may be because the course leader and a few of the lecturers are involved with bases and work closely with them for example the psych teacher did a lot of work with the England football team I believe. If you are considering sports psych I would recommend going more into a bcs sports psychology vs bcs sport science as it’s more general and likelihood you will need to do a masters- my brother is doing his undergrad in sport psychology; however if you want to keep your options broader and you’re not 100% sure on psychology I would recommend doing the sports sci degree- typically people completely change the mind than Their initial thoughts when completing the degree- I did! Hope this helps
