FdSc Sport (Sports Performance)
This exciting programme provides students of sport with a unique opportunity to study, train and further develop their capabilities in an area in which they perform to a very high standard. The Foundation Degree in Sport (Sports Performance) offers the possibility to use the highly regarded academic facilities of the University of Bath as well as accessing the world class sporting facilities and highly acclaimed sports coaches and sport support services.
The programme provides students with a solid academic base to develop their studies, which will explore the key components of athletic success. The early stages of the course explore a range of fundamental topics and equip students with a range of study skills. In addition students develop their abilities in their chosen sport so as they progress through the course there is an increasing emphasis on them developing their own observational, evaluative and analytical skills in determining training regimes and programmes.
The University of Bath is at the forefront of developing sports performance as an academic discipline. The teaching staff involved in delivering the programme bring a depth of academic knowledge and understanding of sport which will enhance the learning experience.
The University holds general open days twice per year in September and June. You can find details here.
