Course summary

Our English and Sport Science degree combines two exciting and challenging disciplines. During your studies on our English and Sport Science BA (Hons) degree, you will spend equal amounts of time studying both English and Sport Science – which makes it the perfect choice should you have an interest in both of these subject areas. Whilst each discipline has its distinctive subjects and approaches, you will also discover productive connections and overlaps between them. The English component of your English and Sport Science degree allows you to explore literature and language within a broad range of fields and approaches, providing a stimulating environment for your studies. The English modules we offer on our English and Sport Science BA grow out of the current research interests and publications of our academic staff, making it possible for you to study the latest thinking in areas as diverse as the staging of Shakespeare, film studies and the analysis of poetry. The sport science element of our English and Sport Science degree covers physiology, physical activity and health, psychology, sociology and sport pedagogy, which support a variety of potential careers in sport, health and/or education.
