What is a sports degree?
If you are passionate about sport, whether taking part, watching or following a particular sport or team, a degree in sport may be a great route for you.
Many sports degrees will cover elements of all four of these, while others will be more specific. But whatever path you choose, don’t think you’ll just be physically playing sport all day. For while plenty of courses do involve sport activity, it’s your brain that will be getting the exercise, as most sports qualifications will involve theoretical alongside practical study.
