Undergraduate programme in Mathematics and Sports Science
This programme is divided equally between Mathematics and Sports Science topics. It is run in collaboration with the internationally renowned School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences. Although the two subjects may not appear closely connected, mathematical analysis is used in sporting applications such as devising strategies for winning, statistical analysis of results, and the mechanics of the human body.
Core topics in Mathematics are covered by compulsory modules in the first two years, while a range of optional modules in the second and final years allows a wide choice of topics in Pure and Applied Mathematics and Statistics. In Sports Science, students choose from a wide range of options covering psychological, biomechanical, physiological, sociological and pedagogical aspects of sport, and so can tailor their course to their own interests.
A personal tutor is assigned to each student to provide help and guidance throughout their entire studies.
Careers followed by graduates from the programme are in education, sports organisations and many areas of commerce and industry.
