Psychology and Sport Studies

About this course

Psychology and sport studies is a combination that examines both the scientific study of human behaviour and mental processes and the world of physical activity, sport and athletic performance. Psychology provides the empirical and theoretical tools to understand how people think, feel and behave, with applications across mental health, motivation, decision-making, social influence and individual differences. Sport studies brings knowledge of the social, cultural and physiological dimensions of sport and physical activity, including how sport is organised, how participation affects wellbeing, and how psychological factors influence performance, injury and recovery. At the University of Derby this three-year, full-time programme includes a foundation year available for those who need additional preparation, along with a sandwich year in professional practice and a placement component giv
