About the School 


The School of Sport, Health and Applied Social Sciences currently runs courses on the Caerleon campus.

You will find a variety of courses available that are continually evolving to incorporate the research material generated by our Academic staff.

Flexible courses

We offer a wide range of subjects which can be taken together or alone on a full-time or part-time basis.

Subjects in the School include Health, Sport, Counselling, Psychology, Social Welfare, Criminal, Community and Youth Justice, Youth and Community Studies, Social Work and Probation alongside various combinations of the above areas. Many of our staff are actively researching their specialisms and this is reflected in the teaching – both in the classroom and outside.

All of our undergraduate courses offer you the chance to develop your employability via a work placement. These can be organised by ourselves or independently and ensure that you don’t leave with a 3 year gap on your CV!!

Our growing postgraduate portfolio is also heavily work placement based, preparing you for the next step into your career.

Outside the classroom

Of course there is more to life for you as a student then just in the classroom – and by enrolling on one of our courses you automatically become a member of the Students' Union, bringing with it many new experiences – whatever your interests.

So have a look and drop us a line if you have any questions.
