Core modules in the programme:
Other modules that may be offered, but are subject to change over time:
Developments in the discipline: The two disciplines of sport and management are continually evolving. While core modules are unlikely to change the curriculum within all sport and management modules is expected to evolve over time. This keeps the curriculum relevant and maintains a real world connection as new policy, employability and professional approaches come to the fore. These new developments are readily incorporated into the curriculum and module content without having to fundamentally change the module structure.
