    "summary": "**Foundation Year**\nOur Foundation Year provides an excellent alternative route to Keele, providing a unique opportunity to better prepare for your chosen degree, and with guaranteed entry onto your undergraduate course once you successfully complete your Foundation Year. This extra year of study can improve your academic skills, expand your subject knowledge, give you a better understanding of higher education and, perhaps most importantly of all, build your confidence. On the Keele Foundation Year, you'll study on campus, joining our undergraduate community from the outset, with access to all the facilities and support that you'd get as an undergraduate student at Keele.\n\n**International Students**\nFor International Students, Foundation Years are delivered through our dedicated on-campus provider, Keele University International College. Applications for International Foundation Years are also handled by KUIC; please do not apply via UCAS as the University will not be able to process your application and you may still be charged the UCAS application fee. To find out more and to apply for an International Foundation Year, visit https://kuic.keele.ac.uk/ \n\n**Sport and Exercise Science** \nOur BSc Sport and Exercise Science degree is designed to challenge you to examine the fascinating role science plays within sport and exercise. As one of a handful of sport and exercise degree programmes delivered within a Faculty of Medicine in the UK, you will have the opportunity to study within an academically rigorous environment, that nurtures the merging of scientific knowledge, hands-on practical experience, and professional practice.\n\n**Why choose this course?**\n\n\n- Our rich, diverse and individualised programme enables you to pursue specific interests through elective options that support your desired career path or further academic aspirations\n\n\n- Develop the ability to apply academic knowledge and practical skills within a real-world experiential setting\n\n\n- Gain broad, transferable employability skills, as well as those specific to careers that support the performance, health and lifestyle of individuals, teams and communities\n\n\n- Benefit from our established links with athletes, teams, and community partners\n\n\n- Make a personal contribution to sport and exercise science research or applied practice, through a research or applied project in an area of your choosing\n\n\nSport and Exercise Science is the application of the scientific principles to sport and exercise contexts. Sport and Exercise Scientists are interested in using these scientific principles to answer important questions that can have a significant and positive impact on individual performers, teams, and wider society.\nFor example, sport and exercise scientists are interested in answering questions such as:\n\n\n- How do athletes prepare for competition?\n\n\n- What happens to the body during exercise?\n\n\n- Why are some injuries a common occurrence in certain sports?\n\n\n- How can physical activity support the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases?\n",
