School of Sport and Outdoor Studies

We operate in excellent facilities on St Martin's main campuses. You can study Sport courses at Lancaster; Outdoor Studies and Adventure Recreation Management in the Lake District at our purpose built centre in Ambleside, and Physical Education in Carlisle.

We offer degree courses that are nationally recognised as excellent, taught by experts and provide real vocational experiences. We are in the top 15 Sports Science courses in the country (The Guardian, May 2006).

To find out more about the degree courses, the people who teach them, the research interests within the School and the opportunities for Sport and Recreation; please browse our site and view the content of what we teach and the facilities on offer.
