Where your sports sciences degree can take you
Sports science is a subject that has become more and more popular over the last few years. To be able to have an in-depth understanding of the science around sport and the way that the body moves, allows us to get the best performances out of our sportsmen and women, help them to prevent and recover from injuries, and also help other people who aren’t necessarily sportsmen or women to deal with injuries that they have sustained.
By studying for a degree in sports science you have many career options open to you – from directly working with athletes, to teaching, or working in the background. Some people also go on to use what they have learned in their degree as a platform to study sports psychology, teaching, sports journalism, or other careers.
