Sport - BSc (Hons)

The BSc (Hons) Sport degree at Cardiff Met provides you with the opportunity to build on your previous studies to complete a degree that reflects your requirements and provides a strong foundation for you to build on in the future, whether you wish to progress.

The BSc Sport degree has been designed to be a very flexible programme. Even though it only consists of one level, there are many different combinations of modules that you can take to enable you to build on what you already know and develop new skills and knowledge that you need to progress to employment or further study.

BSc Sport at Cardiff Met offers you a fantastic opportunity for you to shape your learning experience and independently progress your personal development. For example, you can choose to follow a sport science focussed route through the programme or a sport coaching focussed route or a sport management/development focussed route.

By carefully selecting the modules you will take and utilising your final project and industrial placement experiences, you can ensure that on completion of your degree you have the skills and knowledge you need to progress.

Work-based learning is a core element of the degree programme, to enable you to apply your knowledge from the programme in real-world settings and to gain valuable experience to use as a foundation for future employment. The BSc (Hons) Sport degree leaves you well positioned to consider progression to a Masters degree programme, either at Cardiff Met or elsewhere should that be a route you are looking to follow.

Work placements can give you a critical EDGE in gaining professional employment on graduation. Students who have graduated from the our sport programmes programme have gone on to work in careers both within and beyond the Sport Industry.

For example graduates from our sport programmes are now working in professional and semi-professional sport, national agencies and governing bodies of sport, local authority and social enterprise based organisations, community related organisations, as well as commercial sport and fitness.

Many students also pursue their own opportunities and set up businesses based on ideas that they have generated during their studies. There is on-going enterprise support available from the Centre for Entrepreneurship designed to help provide the best chance to create a successful enterprise. This includes business mentoring, funding advice, free office space and networking opportunities.

Other students have continued onto further study through our masters programmes for example and then further progressed to doctoral level studies.
