BSc (Hons) in Geography and Sport Science, Loughborough University

The BSc Geography and Sport Science is a joint honours degree designed to deepen your understanding of how physical and social processes influence our rapidly changing planet, alongside enhancing your knowledge of sport science. The course offers an equal split of study across both subjects each year, with an optional final year dissertation exploring the relationship between geography and sport science. In geography, you’ll cover both human and physical geography, gaining insights into social and physical processes and their regional differences. The course is taught by experienced staff who focus on current scientific research and societal issues. On the sport science side, you'll develop theoretical, critical, and practical skills in areas like physiology, physical activity, health, psychology, sociology, and pedagogy, preparing you for careers related to sport, health, or education. The program includes options for study abroad and placement years, and fieldwork is a core component of the learning experience.
