Hi there. Would you be able to confirm the full name of the course and university you are looking to study that? Would it be full time or part time? Thanks, Leah.

Hi full time but looking for sport and exercise science but I can’t seem to find anywhere that looks to offer it on an exception basis and also wanted it to be BASES accredited

Also I’m currently in the first year on an ba Arts course so the sports science is classed as Bsc?

Hi i have been told that if you do a Ba you can then go onto to do a Bsc as an Exeption Course? looking at St Mary's Twickenham Sport Science on a part time basis? is this possible at all?

From SFE website - but can't seem to get any information anywhere about it?

If a course has multiple HECoS codes, all of these must be eligible according to the subject category list and the additional specified list of eligible subjects.

Hi there. I cannot see a part time sports science course on our system that St Marys Twickenham London have added.

We need to check the course codes to make sure it is considered and ELQ exception.

You may need to speak with the university and ask them about this, unless you have another university in mind we can check? Thanks, Leah.
