BSc Sports Development

UEA's BSc (Hons) Sports Development is a three-year undergraduate degree designed for students seeking a career in sport participation, performance, or community development. The curriculum progresses from foundational principles of physical education, sport, and health through to sport development policy, high-performance sport, and an independent dissertation. Students gain practical exposure via an extended work placement, engagement with organisations such as Active Norfolk, and visits to Norwich City FC. The course addresses topics including tackling inequalities through sport, nurturing elite athletes, and sport psychology.

Delivered on campus in Norwich through lectures, seminars, and independent study, the programme spans three years and leads to a BSc (Hons) degree awarded by the University of East Anglia. Teaching is carried out by UEA academic staff with expertise in sports participation, elite performance, athlete transitions, and gender equality. Students have access to the Sportspark facility on campus and may undertake field trips to local natural and community settings to complement their academic learning.
