Sports Science Full time

The Sports Science course covers a wide variety of topics from Health Related Fitness to Sports Psychology and Kinesiology equipping students with the ability to pursue a career or progress to further studies in a broad range of sports subjects.

Sports Scientists study, research and advise on the scientific aspects of sport and exercise and on human performance, endurance and capability. The increased public interest in health and fitness has lead to a growing demand for the people with the technical and practical skills necessary to give specialised advice and training to those looking to continually improve their performance.
