This programme provides an opportunity for students to develop key sports management knowledge and business skills. Graduates of this programme are well placed to make a significant contribution to the future of sports management and sports development, and to become effective leaders in the sports industry.
The programme is essentially built around the disciplines of sports management, sports development and research methods. Each of the disciplines is represented as a ‘strand’ of the programme. Students take one additional strand (either Sport and Exercise Physiology, Sport and Exercise Psychology or Socio-Cultural Approaches to Sport) to complete their curriculum (see the entry for BA Sports Studies for details of these strands). All Sports students undertake a common Year 1. This provides a foundation of knowledge and the basis for students to then choose which of the sports programmes offered at Winchester they wish to pursue in Years 2 and 3.
The Sports Management strand delivers knowledge based around management theory, marketing principles and legal aspects related to the effective running of sports organisations and sports events.
The Sports Development strand engages with the fundamental notion that sport brings many benefits, and sport should be organised to enable as many individuals as possible to be exposed to these benefits.
The Research Methods strand seeks to develop a familiarity with both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies and apply these to various sporting and exercise contexts.
