Overview

Studying sport or exercise at third level is an opportunity to harness your passion and combine it with the knowledge to build a wonderful career in either sports performance or physical education studies.

The first two years provide the core foundation of the degree, while the last two years allow you to specialise.

Our performance stream pairs research theory with a range of applied performance related areas including strength and conditioning, psychology and nutrition. Meanwhile our education stream pairs theory with curriculum based instructional models that focus on how physical activity and sport can be taught through games, aquatics, gymnastics, dance, athletics and outdoor adventure education.

Graduate careers include: Physical Education, Sports Coaching, Personal Trainer, Fitness Instructor, Leisure Centre Manager and Sports Development Officer.
