For Combined Honours UCAS codes and entry requirements
The programme is underpinned by the ‘traditional’ academic disciplines of sport and exercise physiology, sport and exercise psychology, socio-cultural approaches to sport, and research methods. Each of the disciplines is represented as a ‘strand’ of the programme. Students have the option to replace one of the Sport and Exercise Physiology, Sport and Exercise Psychology, Socio-Cultural Approaches to Sport strands with either the Sports Management or Sports Development Strand in Years 2 and 3.
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 Sport and Exercise Physiology strand gives students an understanding of the physiology underpinning exercise and sports performance and provides opportunities to test this understanding in a range of practical/applied settings.
The Sport and Exercise Psychology strand enables students to make an informed assessment of those psychological factors which may influence an individual’s involvement and performance in sport and exercise.
The Socio-Cultural strand aims to bring together the disciplines of sports sociology and sports history to explore sport as a significant element of culture.
The Research Methods strand seeks to develop a familiarity with both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies and to apply these to various sporting and exercise contexts.
