Undergraduate

Foundation Degree in Sport (Sports Performance)
This Foundation Degree is available as a full-time or part-time option. It has been designed with the elite athlete in mind. A range of units, specific to the elite sports performer, are delivered in combination with more general topics which will prepare young athletes for a range of potential careers in sport. We have flexible entry requirements for this course and a top-up year is available to obtain a full honours degree www.bath.ac.uk/sports/foundation/

BSc (Hons) in Sport (Sports Performance) (Work Based Learning)
The Honours Year programme is studied on a one year full-time basis and offers progression for those students successfully completing the FdSc Sport (Sports Performance) or equivalent. Study for this programme is at Honours Level and therefore students enter at Intermediate Level.  The honours year programmes adopt the same work-based learning approach as our foundation degrees, but add value by preparing students for potential, longer-term leadership roles at work while providing subject-specific knowledge at honours level.  Students continue to study Sports Performance at honours level, building on the expertise acquired during their foundation degree (or equivalent) and further developing the critical, analytical, and reflective approach valued by employers.
