The BSc (Hons) Football Science with Professional Practice Year degree are for those who have an interest in player and team development. This programme will advance your theoretical and practical knowledge of the scientific disciplines (physiology, psychology, biomechanics and performance analysis) were you will learn how to analyse, monitor and evaluate football performance. The programme will challenge students intellectually, with outstanding academic education and applied practice through real life projects that will enhance student experience. To support this fast growing industry, you will gain an array of industry recognised qualifications that are embedded into the modular structure. Students will be given the opportunity to develop specific areas of expertise within a multi-disciplinary programme, for an industry that requires specialist professionals. The university links to key industry partners, will give you the necessary skills, experience and networking opportunities to support future employment. Professional Practice Year This course offers students an opportunity to enhance their employability by equipping them with in depth industry knowledge and a higher skill set, during an extended year of professional practice. The first two years provide the theoretical and practical underpinning required to develop your knowledge and understanding in readiness for your professional practice year with an external organisation. This will give you a greater opportunity to apply the scientific skills in a working environment. On completion of your profession practice , you will return to university to complete the final year of the degree.

Case Study A detailed investigation into a specific issue or real life example that allows for deeper understanding of contextual and specific knowledge within football science Critical Review An analysis and evaluation of a topic (often a chapter from a book or an article from a journal), which requires the student to understand the material, while analysing and evaluating it using appropriate criteria. Essay An assessed piece of writing used to provide feedback to the student to improve their learning and target areas that require further work. Formal Examination An examination is an assessment intended to measure a test-taker's knowledge, skill, aptitude, or classification in many topics. An exam may be administered verbally, on paper, on a computer, or in a predetermined area that requires the exam-taker to demonstrate or perform a set of skills. Exams vary in style, rigour and requirements. For example, in a closed book test, an exam taker is usually required to rely upon memory to respond to specific items whereas in an open book test, the exam taker may use one or more supplementary tools such as a reference book or calculator when responding. Honours Project An in-depth independent study of 7000 words, or equivalent, chosen by the student. This may include a variety of approaches such as a traditional research dissertation or applied work such as consultancy or project work. Oral Presentation A clearly structured, detailed verbal delivery illustrated/supported by a variety of audio-visual aids, which demonstrates knowledge and understanding of a selected topic in football science either as an individual or in small groups. Online Portfolio/Reflective Diary A collection of documents created by a person to demonstrate the achievements, learning and skills they have developed. A portfolio may be created via an edublog project, for example as part of the personal development planning/profiling process, as part of the assessment for reflective practice on work based learning projects. Poster Presentation Presentation of data/information/critical analysis in a visual ‘poster’ format to include brief verbal delivery and defence of questions posed, specific to the information contained within the poster. Assesses knowledge of the topic and effective communication skills. Practical Assessment An assessment of the ability to apply knowledge, understanding and skills practically (e.g., collecting data, interviewing skills). Laboratory Report A report is an analytical piece of work using research to critically review the subject area. A report can also use the support of diagrams, pictures and captions to analyse research. Research Proposal/Honours Project Proposal A precise and coherent summary of a proposed research project setting out the central issues to be addressed and the ethical procedures to be followed. Website Presentation Students deign a professional website and present their area of expertise to a panel.
