Sports Studies

The course offers the students the opportunity to explore a multidisciplinary approach to Sport and Physical Education. Students will study a variety of theoretical aspects which, when combined with their practical ability as a performer or a coach, will allow them to analyse and improve their own skills or those of others. The theoretical content allows students to gain knowledge of anatomy and physiology, skill acquisition, sports psychology, sport technology and historical, social and cultural factors which affect participation. The focus of the course allows students to gain a real appreciation for the many factors which influence Sport and PE and will enable them to become critical performers and gain an interest and insight into sport to take into the future.
