Program Description

In your first year, you’ll learn about the sports industry, cognitive psychology, physical activity and sports development settings. You’ll also explore national and international sports business management and social psychology. To help you settle into university life, you’ll take a module focused on developing the academic skills which you need to be a successful student.        Your second year builds on what you learnt in first year. You’ll study global perspectives of sports development, process and practice in high performance sport, and leadership and management of sports events. The module on research methods helps you understand the principles and methods that underpin social science of research. You’ll be able to use this to critique and understand research done in the areas of sports development, psychology and sports business management. It’ll also come in handy for your final year project in your final year. There are also a few optional modules for you to choose from.  Learn about exciting topics such as nonverbal behaviour and cyberpsychology.  Work placement/study abroad option: Between your second and final year, you’ll have the option to study abroad or do a work placement for up to a year. Not only will this give you an amazing experience to talk about but will also give your CV a boost. If you’d rather go straight to your final year, that’s fine too. You’ll decide in your second year with us, so there is still plenty of time to think about this.  In your final year you’ll be able to develop your research skills through the research dissertation module. You’ll get a personal supervisor to support you with the research. This means you’ll design and undertake you own project on a topic relevant to your area of interest. You’ll also be able to study other modules in the final year, such as enterprise and entrepreneurship, behaviour change for physical activity and insight and also evaluation of sports development. In addition, you’ll also be able to choose optional modules such as educational psychology, forensic psychology and health psychology.   For a full list of modules, see the section under ‘What will I study?’
