About the course

This degree is unique in Scotland and was developed in consultation with partners from national sport organisations and governing bodies, NHS and the third sector, as well as senior sport development officers and expert coaches. These strong links to industry are reflected in course design, work experience opportunities, and employment opportunities available to UWS students.
