Presentación

Sport psychology seeks to understand the psychological factors that affect the behaviour of individuals, teams or organisations in sport, and how lifestyle issues can influence wellbeing and performance.

To complement your psychology studies, you’ll have an introduction to physiology and you can choose modules from our Sport and Exercise Science course. This will enhance your employability and give you an all-round understanding of the field.

The course is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) so if you graduate with 2:2 Honours or higher, you’ll be eligible for the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership, the first stage of qualification as a sport psychologist.

Learning and teaching methods
The Sport Psychology degree is delivered through lectures, seminars, workshops, individual/small group supervision and independent study. You will also have the opportunity to attend guest lectures given by academic staff from other institutions and professional psychologists who work in different areas of practise.

In fact, you will be given the opportunity to learn about Psychology in new ways and no two modules are entirely the same in terms of delivery and assessment. You will complete coursework including essays, practical reports, oral presentations and case studies. There will also be some examination assessments (seen and unseen) and in-class tests.

Salidas profesionales

The BSc (Hons) Sport Psychology programme provides you with the opportunities to gain direct employment-related skills in all of your modules including the planning and development of an intervention with an elite athlete in your final year. You will acquire a range of transferable skills which employers really rate; including project management, communication and negotiation skills, time management and a flexible and analytical approach to problem solving.

Many of our graduates wish to pursue a career in sport and exercise psychology and this degree provides you with the basis to continue to further study and training in this field. However, as your degree gives you the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership with the Society, you would be eligible to apply for accredited postgraduate study in other applied areas such as occupational, forensic, clinical and health psychology.
