Overview

Plenty of people play sports. But how many really understand the impact it has?

This course gives you the chance to explore sport’s contribution to society. Look at the subject from a huge range of perspectives, starting with the psychology and business of sport. You’ll study sociology, globalisation, and governance. We’ll even dip into politics and policy analysis, marketing, and commercialisation.

• Perfect if you’re a sports lover looking for a more social scientific education
• We cover a wide range of topics for all interests, including gender, race, identity, technology, and globalisation
• Study at our High Wycombe campus, just a short train ride from all the major sports venues London has to offer
