BSc (Hons) Sports Science
In year one, you will study modules that introduce you to all of the Sports Science disciplines and lay the academic knowledge and practical skills foundations that will underpin later years. The second year builds upon the first year with more targeted modules that advance your knowledge and applied skills across all of the disciplines. You will get the opportunity to specialise in your final year to prepare you for a range of careers. You will choose from our three pathways with their specific modules and undertake a placement and dissertation that allow you to focus on the area of sports science or career path that most interests you. This year gives you the in-depth knowledge and advanced skills and practice, to enhance your employability when you graduate.
In this pathway, you will study the Advanced Performance Analysis module, that develops the theoretical background of biomechanics and performance analysis, and applies these concepts to the analysis of sports performance using both qualitative and quantitative methods. This pathway provides you with the knowledge and expertise to actively practice the discipline of Performance Analysis within an elite setting. You will utilise industry standard equipment to assess, monitor, review and improve performance in athletes/teams. You will use multiple methods to increase performance productivity in your clients.
In this pathway, you will study the Advanced Strength and Conditioning module. This module will provide you with an extended understanding of the principles governing the training of elite athletes. This module, along with a specific work placement opportunity in a strength and conditioning setting (Placement module) allows you to develop competencies that are closely aligned to the UK Strength and Conditioning Association (UKSCA) and permits progression to individual accreditation after graduation.
