BSc Applied Sport Studies - in Netball
About this course
Applied sport studies programmes that are built around a specific sport offer something distinctive: the opportunity to develop academic understanding of sport science, coaching, and performance management in direct relation to the practice, demands, and culture of one discipline. In netball, this means examining the physiological, psychological, and tactical dimensions of a fast-moving team sport that is both technically demanding and strategically complex, while also developing the professional skills that elite and community contexts require. At Leeds Beckett, this degree is designed for athletes competing at national or international level, or for those with significant coaching experience, who want to build their professional capabilities in netball. You will study sport science, performance analysis, coaching methodology, and sports development alongside netball-specific practice, learning to apply academic knowledge directly to your sport. The programme includes a year abroad, giving you international experience of netball culture and coaching in a different context. It runs over three years full-time, with a typical entry tariff of 120 points. Graduates of applied sport studies programmes in netball go on to careers as elite or community coaches, performance analysts, sports development officers, talent identification specialists, and national governing body employees. Many continue their professional development through coaching qualifications and postgraduate study in sports science, coaching, or sports management. The programme is well suited to those who want a career in the sport they are passionate about, developing the professional credibility that comes from combining high-level playing or coaching experience with rigorous academic understanding.
