BSc Mathematics and Sports Science,
About this course
BSc in Mathematics and Sports Science, a combined degree exploring human physiological performance and advanced mathematical theory. Core topics include Data Analysis, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. Students can choose between Mathematical Modelling or Statistics pathways during their studies. Year one introduces human anatomy and physiology alongside optional modules in analysis and algebra. Year two builds on this foundation with compulsory study in multi-variable analysis, metric spaces and measure theory, advanced measurement and technology in sport, and exercise responses. Year three covers complex analysis, applied biomechanics of human movement, sport, diet and disease, and health-related exercise. Optional modules across the course include differential equations, probability theory, dynamical systems, and machine learning.
