Bachelor in Sport Sciences with Business BSc

If you have achieved strong A-levels in science or business (typically AAB-ABB) and are keen to combine sport science, coaching and business studies, this three-year BSc will build on those foundations. The course expects you to bring a genuine interest in sport and an analytical mindset, and welcomes applicants with relevant IB, BTEC or GCSE qualifications.

A distinctive feature of this programme is the integration of a practical placement module alongside a state-of-the-art Sport and Fitness Centre, giving you hands-on experience in sport event management, coaching and business leadership. Optional modules each year allow you to tailor your studies, and in the final year you choose either a research-based dissertation or an applied professional project.
