Sport Engineering

From specialist sports equipment to wearable sports technology, the study of sports engineering seeks to address problems associated with sports, health, and exercise. It brings together sports science, technology, and engineering to help improve performance, safety, and comfort in sporting and occupational settings.

On this sport engineering degree, you’ll develop devices and technology that address real-world sporting challenges – whether it’s designing equipment that gives athletes a competitive edge, or developing new and better materials, processes and devices that optimise human function and reduce the risk of injury.

You’ll gain an in-depth understanding of how the body moves and functions, how design and engineering principles are utilised for producing sporting equipment, and how to optimise the user-equipment interface to enhance performance, improve comfort, and reduce injury risk.

The global and diverse sport engineering industry is growing rapidly, attracting investment from professional clubs, sportswear manufacturers, and developers of wearable technology. Combining technical engineering skills with your passion for sport, this course will help you to become a part of the next big breakthrough in sport technology.

Studying sport engineering at NTU, you’ll get plenty of opportunities to work on live briefs set by our industry partners, use your creativity, and bring your ideas from conception to production. With full access to our industry-standard engineering facilities, you’ll tackle practical projects such as designing a helmet for a sport of your choice, reverse engineering everyday objects, and testing equipment both in the lab and in the field.

On this MEng Sport Engineering course, Masters-level modules are integrated into your final year. Therefore, you’ll learn to think, work and behave like a professional engineer, and graduate with a higher degree level.

What's the difference between BEng, MEng, and Foundation Year?

• This MEng (Hons) is a four-year course that leads to a single postgraduate qualification. The first two years are the same as the BEng course, with advanced, Masters-level study then spread across the third and fourth years.

• BEng (Hons) is a three-year undergraduate course, or four years if you choose to complete a work placement.

• BEng (Hons) with Foundation Year – If you don’t meet the entry criteria for the BEng or MEng Sport Engineering courses, then the foundation year is a great option. It brings you up to speed on maths, science and engineering so that you're ready to study sport engineering in your second year.

Some of the highlights of this sport engineering degree include:

• Working on live projects for our industry partners, giving you real-world experience, develop new technical skills and professional networking opportunities.

• Grand Challenge, you’ll collaborate with students from other engineering disciplines to tackle ambitious engineering problems, go on field trips, attend masterclasses, hear talks from industry professionals, and present your work at a trade show.

• The chance to do a year-long placement – previously, placement destinations have included Hawk-Eye Innovations, Silverstone Sports Engineering Hub, PepsiCo, Vires Velo, ESP Fitness, and more.

• Talks and field trips are built into your sport engineering degree course, to help you contextualise your learning in the real world and network with potential employers.

• The opportunity to get involved in active research on our eight-week Engineering Research Opportunities Scholarships (EROS) programme, after which you’ll get a certificate of professional practice.
