BSC BUSINESS WITH SPORT SCIENCE

About

Degree Overview
> Maynooth University offers the only programme that allows students to combine a full business with sports science degree. This programme is for students who have a desire to work in the growing and diverse range of businesses in the area of sports, exercise and well-being.
>The sports, exercise and well-being sector is one of the largest service industries in Ireland and globally. Ranging from small to large enterprises, many are run by sports- professionals. These businesses need graduates who can understand both the science and practicalities of the sports and exercise sector, and the fundamentals of how to create value and make a profit - via services and solutions that meet a variety of customers.
>MH412 provides students with the unique option of combining Business with sports related content - from practical exercise skills to the science behind human performance and well-being.
>In third year, students have an opportunity to undertake an accredited work placement (subject to availability), in Ireland or abroad, which gives students a chance to put learning into practice and which significantly improves employability upon graduation. Given the diversity of businesses in this sector, many run by those without formal business training, people with both business and sports science knowledge are highly attractive with many opportunities.

Career

After Graduation
>This is a rapidly growing sector, with a deep demand for graduates that bridge the fields of business and sports - employees that have both a deep insight into how to create value for businesses (through business skills) and the science of sports exercise.
>Many enjoy sporting activities but sports and exercise are well known to have mental and physiological benefits. In combination with the business modules, this programme will allow students to understand how sports and exercise can impact on health, allowing graduates to explore how this can be translated to new services and solutions.
>Graduates typically join large multinational employers in graduate programmes, public service, or in small and medium sized organisations where you are able to work on contributing to the businesses, domestically and globally. The addition of sports science will allow graduates to access opportunities in the sports and exercise market. That could be from small local enterprises to large companies that operate sporting enterprises or that supply services to the sports, exercise and health sectors.
>Many of our students continue to further postgraduate study in a very wide range of Business subjects at Maynooth University. Visit the Department websites for more information. See contact details below.
