The sports industry is broad and includes both scientific and more applied, practical sectors. To represent this, you will study a range of academic and vocational application of understanding and knowledge in diverse topics such as sport psychology, biomechanics, physiology, coaching and fitness. Where possible, learning embraces community connections with vocational trips or specialist guest speakers and research in university laboratories. You will acquire academic research methods, data analysis and ICT skills, but also other essential life skills, such as leadership, resilience, communication and collaboration, which underpin all progression routes whether in sport or not.
