Sport (Sports Performance) FdSc

Combine your practical sports expertise as an athlete, coach or practitioner, with the advanced study of factors that influence high-performance sport.

If you have experience of, and aspirations to work in, high-performance sport, this course is designed for you.

You’ll merge the study of high-performance sport with your own experience as an athlete, coach or practitioner. This will develop your theoretical knowledge of the subject alongside building your practical skills and experience at one the UK’s top sports universities.

Throughout the FdSc, you’ll explore sports performance subjects, including:

• physiology
• psychology
• coaching
• sports development

This will develop your knowledge in areas such as training principles, sport career transitions, performance analysis, and strength and conditioning.
