Program Overview

The Sport Performance Analysis programme contains 6 core standard taught modules worth 20 credit points each and a 60 credit point dissertation.  The 6 standard taught modules are covered during three teaching blocks where 2 modules are done in each block.  You will do Software Engineering in Sport and Machine Learning in Sport during the first block which runs from September to December.  In the second block, from January to Easter you will do Research Methods and Contemporary Research Topics in Sports Performance Analysis.  After the Easter break, you will do Modelling Sports Performance and Supervised Placement up to early July.  Once the 6 standard taught modules are completed, you will undertake the Dissertation which can be completed by September, but the deadline is not until the following January.  Hence the programme can be completed in 12 months but most students take 16 months.

These modules will provide you with a balance of academic and experiential (Practical Labs) studies, which are focused through ensuring a comprehensive analysis of the research process.

Placement opportunities will assist towards accreditation from International Society of Performance Analysis of Sport (ISPAS).​
