What is the role of sport in a world facing pressing social challenges? How do we understand the possibilities and challenges of sport as a platform for social change? How do we examine and analyse sport and sport science research to find new perspectives on the role of sports? How can we look critically at the development of sport in relation to social processes such as globalisation, migration and urbanisation? Sport Science: Sport in Society is a two-year master’s programme that tackles these questions. During the programme, students develop applied skills and a critical knowledge base to work with sport, leisure, and health industries as platforms for social change. The programme is tailored for those who have undergraduate experience in sports science, physical education, health science and management. By embarking on this programme, you will have the advantage of being schooled in the latest theories, while also being given the opportunity to apply these theories and concepts to real-life projects and challenges through individual assignments and group projects.
