Good Uni for Sports Studies?

[feudebois]

Any mumsnetters first hand experiences? If it was somewhere with lovely countryside near by that would be a bonus (dd suffers from anxiety and loves being outside). Anywhere in the country!

Worcester. Very good for sports degrees apparently and near to lovely countryside. Not too big either, so good for people with anxiety.

Bath has brilliant sports facilities. I think it now tops Loughborough from what I’ve read.

We've been to look at Bath. Dd wasn't massively keen.

Look at the list I linked. Loughborough is 5th.

Stirling?

Worcester looks nice thank you froome!

Nephew went to Southampton Solent where they offer a range of sports degrees. Might want to check where graduates end up from some of them. He loved it there, did PGCE elsewhere and is now back down there working as a primary school teacher.

Hull has very easy access to the Yorkshire Wolds & east coast . It does sport science for performance but depending on your preference it sits under the faculty of health sciences.....a lot of graduates go on to be physiotherapists.

Just to check, have you seen the foundation year programme for elite athletes at Loughborough? Would she possibly qualify for that? It's an extra year but essentially the same course and entry requirement is something like BCC.

Correction. It's a one year programme giving entry to "your chosen course" for "elite athletes" who don't meet the standard entry grades. Its typical offer is BBC.

You're welcome feude. I live in Worcestershire so if you want info about the area please ask.

I think Winchester does sports science, too, but I can't tell you if it's any good. I also did a course on Futurelearn run by the sports science department at the University of Kent, so maybe take a look there too. You don't say where you are based, but Canterbury is nice.

My son's coach's son is at Leeds Beckett and other club members have gone to St Marys in Twickenham. And another vote for Cardiff Met - Cardiff is a great city and there is plenty to do both in and outside the city.
