Students will also develop key areas within the world of performance sport such as Performance Analysis, Sport Psychology and Sports Coaching. Students will develop skills in both qualitative and quantitative analysis and be able to effectively carry out research projects at a high level. Within the scheme, there will be opportunity for students to attain a level of professional practice. There are strong links to the professional football industry and within England Volleyball. There is further opportunity for designing and carrying out studies for both performance and community sport. There is also a range of links with both primary and secondary schools for coaching opportunities. The programme has had input from coaches, performance analysts and other support practitioners working in a professional capacity at elite-level sport.
