Biography

Scott graduated from the University of Portsmouth in 2000 with a BSc (Hons) degree in Sports Science. Upon graduating, Scott worked at the University of Winchester for five years as the laboratory technician to the Sports Studies department. Whilst there, Scott successfully completed a part-time Masters degree in Sport and Exercise Physiology which enabled him to incorporate part-time lecturing into his job role.

Since 2005, Scott has worked at Thames Valley University, Queen Mary’s University - London and London Metropolitan University in either a technical or academic context. In 2008 Scott joined the Health, Exercise and Sports Science team at Southampton Solent University as a lecturer in Research Methods and Physiology. He currently teaches first year physiology (which was voted one of the most popular units within the Faculty), second year research methods and third year physiology and sports science support units.

In support of his teaching, Scott completed his Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education at Thames Valley University and has recently gained his level one ISAK (International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry) qualification which concerns the measurement of body composition.

Taught Courses

  1. BSc (Hons) Applied Sport Science (Full Time)
  2. BSc (Hons) Health, Exercise & Physical Activity (Full Time)
  3. BSc (Hons) Sport Coaching (Full Time)

Industry experience

With a background in exercise physiology, Scott has worked with a variety of individuals from clinical and elite sport populations.

Research interests

Scott has the pleasure of teaching statistics to students on the Sports Science and Sports Coaching courses. This essentially forms the basis for his research interests, where he is currently registering for a PhD which will look at different methods to promote statistical knowledge and understanding in undergraduate students.
