A Sports Performance degree enables you to apply core sciences, new technologies, and training principles to competitive sport. This course is developing the Sports Performance scientists of the future by equipping graduates with skills and competencies needed to operate in the complex and demanding elite sport environment, empowering them with confidence to generate new ideas and techniques in sporting contexts and beyond.This course is designed to offer extensive practical experience in real-world and research settings, promoting reflection and critical thinking.
