Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Sport Science and Mathematics (Sandwich Year)

Program Description Elite athletes around the world increasingly rely on sophisticated mathematical data to assess, enhance and improve personal performance and the performance of essential sporting equipment. From the analysis of human movement to the ways in which the body responds to exercise, a thorough understanding of applied mathematical techniques is essential. If students have an interest in mathematics and its application in sport science, then they will really enjoy exploring this specialist area.

Students will gain the mathematics skills to unlock the complexities of sport. It’s a powerful combination. Students will develop the building blocks of mathematics – algebra, calculus and statistics while exploring sports psychology, physiology and biomechanics.

In Years One and Two, students will study both Sport Science and Mathematics modules. In Year Three, students will select either a Mathematics pathway or a Sport Science pathway depending upon their own interests and preferences.

In the final year, students will have a choice of options from both the sport and the mathematics sides of their course. The modules students choose and their choice of project allow students to create their own pathway that reflects their individual interests.

The best learning happens when students get to apply it, which is why students will be getting hands-on in the sport science labs as well as specialist mathematics facilities to put their knowledge and theory to the test.

Please be advised that this program includes a sandwich year, which will be studied during the student's undergraduate degree.
