Hartpury University is proud to announce that its BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Sciences degree has been officially endorsed by the Chartered Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (CASES), the UK’s leading professional body for sport and exercise sciences.
This endorsement recognises the high quality of teaching, learning, and industry relevance within Hartpury’s programme, ensuring students are equipped with the knowledge, practical skills, and professional competencies required to succeed in the sector.
Endorsement by CASES provides students with a range of benefits, including enhanced employability, access to professional networks, and recognition that their degree meets the standards expected by the industry. Students also gain a clearer pathway towards professional accreditation and future career progression within sport and exercise sciences.
Dr Gareth Knox, Head of Department for Sport and Exercise Sciences at Hartpury University, said: “We’re delighted that our Sport and Exercise Sciences programme has been endorsed by CASES. This recognition reflects the strength of our teaching, our commitment to applied learning, and the expertise of our academic team. Most importantly, it reinforces the value of a Hartpury degree for our students, ensuring they graduate with the skills and professional recognition needed to thrive in an increasingly competitive industry.”
This endorsement is part of Hartpury University’s wider commitment to aligning its degree programmes with industry standards and professional bodies, ensuring graduates are career-ready from day one. This, in part, played a role in the institution being awarded Specialist University of the Year by The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2026.
By embedding real-world experience, industry partnerships, and professional recognition into its courses, Hartpury enhances students’ employability prospects and supports clear progression pathways into the sector. Graduates benefit from a strong combination of academic knowledge, practical application, and industry credibility, helping them stand out in competitive fields and transition seamlessly into professional roles.
