Overview

Introduction

Edinburgh Napier University

The programme explores the science used to help the body perform to its full potential. It offers more than most sports science degrees because you learn about science purely in its relationship to exercise and sport. Study physiology, biomechanics, and sports psychology but also take a very practical approach to the application of science to sport.

Students will learn how to carry out a wide range of procedures and use equipment involved in exercise physiology, biomechanics, sports psychology, injury rehabilitation and coaching.

The practical nature of this programme also encourages the development of skills necessary for all graduates to perform efficiently in the work environment.

Industry Collaboration

SportSG / CoachSG

One of the goals of Vision 2030 is extending the impact of the Singapore Sport Institute (SSI) – the high performance arm of SportSG – to reinforce the high performance system. SportSG designed a concept of an ‘academy’ for coaches in 2015, and officially launched CoachSG in May 2017 with a first ever coaching conference.
