UWS’s BSc (Hons) Sport Development will focus on how to help people lead healthy, active lifestyles.

You'll learn both about the development of sport and development through sport by exploring sports contributions to health, communities, economies, and societies on global and local scales.

This degree is unique in Scotland and was developed in consultation with partners from national sport organisations and governing bodies, NHS and the third sector, as well as senior sport development officers and expert coaches. These strong links to industry are reflected in course design, work experience opportunities, and employment opportunities available to UWS students.
