We’ll give you the mathematics skills to unlock the complexities of sport. It’s a powerful combination. You’ll develop the building blocks of mathematics – algebra, calculus and statistics while exploring sports psychology, physiology and biomechanics.In your final year, you’ll have a choice of options from both the sport and the mathematics sides of your course. The modules you choose and your choice of project allow you to create your own pathway that reflects your individual interests.We know that the best learning happens when you get to apply it. That’s why you’ll be getting hands-on in our sport science labs as well as specialist mathematics facilities to put your knowledge and theory to the test. Every year we offer a number of short research scholarships in one of our research teams. This is a great opportunity for you to further your interests and contribute to the academic activities of the mathematics department. Our students have recently formed a Mathematics Society, and you’ll have the opportunity to take part in regular events hosted on campus. And of course, there are plenty of sporting clubs and societies that you can get involved in too.Elite athletes around the world increasingly rely on sophisticated mathematical data to assess, enhance and improve personal performance and the performance of essential sporting equipment. From the analysis of human movement to the ways in which the body responds to exercise, a thorough understanding of applied mathematical techniques is essential. If you have an interest in mathematics and its application in sport science, then you ‘ll really enjoy exploring this specialist area.
