BSc (Sports Science) degree offers students an opportunity to learn various scientific aspects of sports. This programme will help them develop an overall core foundation in sports science. They will understand the human body and its requirement in different sporting situations. They will also get an opportunity to develop the skills to become Sports Scientists and prepare for other professions such as Exercise Physiologist, Sports Psychologist, Data Analyst, Coach, Strength and Conditioning expert etc. The programme will focus on the following core disciplines - Physiology, Biomechanics, Nutrition, Psychology and Exercise Science.
1. Provide Academic and practical training to develop and strengthen students' leadership in Sport and Exercise Science knowledge where they will be able to apply the latest scientific theories and models in the local sports environment.
2. Encourage the acquisition of updated scientific knowledge which supports lifelong learning
3. Facilitate the development of critical thinking, problem-solving skills and research skills.
4. Develop skills and understand the application of these skills to operate various sports technologies used for performance analysis.
5. Apply key theoretical concepts in a range of practical contexts in sport and exercise science.
6. Able to plan, design, manage and execute practical activities using appropriate techniques and procedures
7. Identify, critically analyse and solve problems in sport and exercise science through the utilization of a wide range of observational and scientific approaches
8. Provide in-depth knowledge and skills necessary for professional recognition.
