Course Details - Modules
Here are some of the possible modules you may take on this course.
Year One
Research and Debates in Sport
Research and debates in sport introduces undergraduate students of sport to a range of academic and critical thinking skills that they will need as they progress through their degree programme. Central to the module is the desire to foster within students the ability to see beyond every day analyses of issues in sport, to a more considered and critically informed perspective that treats sports as a case study to which academic learning is applied.
Sport and Social Issues
This module seeks to equip students with an understanding of the participants in sport, and the various barriers they need to overcome in order to gain access to all of sport's benefits. The module looks at consumers from a number of social angles, and explains how issues such as sexism, racism and elitism affect the sport experiences of individuals and groups. It encourages students to come up with practical solutions to overcome such issues in an effort to better serve the sporting needs of all sports participants.
Business Psychology
This module will help you to develop your understanding of self and is your first stepping stone to the personal and professional development required of all business management students. The module has been designed to enable you to understand the role of Business Psychology in the workplace, and to identify your personal strengths and weaknesses through a process of self-assessment and reflection. You will be able to identify your personal values, assertiveness, develop your understanding of issues such as individual differences and emotional intelligence, and be supported to enhance your interpersonal skills. This process will in turn develop your independent thinking, build your confidence in your own potential, develop your psychological literacy, and increase your drive to achieve your management potential. You will also learn how to appreciate the benefits of team working and understand your preferred role when contributing to teams. This module is an important part of your journey towards becoming a Roehampton Business Graduate.
