Multiple aspects of the course were applicable for life during and after university, such as structural kinesiology and nutrition – everybody should understand the way the body and muscles move as well as how to fuel it. I was lucky enough be able to learn about these topics as part of my degree.
Biomechanics was a great way to link the mathematics side of my degree to sport, with an ability to put theory into practice. I loved the fact that I could go from learning about sport theory in one lecture to order and chaos in another, keeping a variety of learning opportunities open. It is surprising how much overlap there is between the two subjects.
The advice I would give to someone considering studying this course is jump at the chance – if you have a passion and skill for either or both topics, this course will be perfect for you to gain further experience and qualifications at a prestigious university and set yourself up with potential career opportunities in both sport and business.
