Mathematics and Sports Science

About this course

Mathematics and sports science is an unusual but genuinely productive combination, bringing together the formal rigour of mathematical thinking with the scientific study of human physical performance, health, and sport. Mathematics provides the analytical and quantitative tools that underpin so much of sports science, from statistical analysis of performance data to the biomechanical modelling of movement and the probabilistic reasoning used in risk and injury assessment. Sports science, meanwhile, examines the physiological, psychological, and biomechanical dimensions of how human bodies perform and adapt, asking how training, nutrition, psychology, and environment shape athletic outcomes. At Swansea University, this three-year BSc combines classical and contemporary theory across both disciplines in a programme designed to be fresh and relevant to the wider industry. You will develop
