Sports science covers a broad range of fields, from anatomy to psychology, physiotherapy, nutrition, and management. This means you have a whole lot of options when it comes to choosing and planning your study abroad experience. How to Choose a Sports Science Study Abroad Program You could start by choosing a country that you particularly want to study abroad in, and then finding the top universities in the country offering sports science courses. If you know what area of sport you would like to eventually work in, it helps to choose a country where that sport has a strong following. If being able to play sports is important to you, it's worth also looking out for which universities have the best sports facilities. Incidentally, you will usually find that state-of-the-art facilities go hand-in-hand with state-of-the-arts sports research departments. Alternatively, you could lead your search with the specific type of course you want to do. Want to focus on nutrition? Anatomy? The psychology of sports?
Millions of people around the world love watching and playing sports. However, far fewer people are fascinated by how sport works: what makes the human body capable of it, what its effects are on the mind and body, how to best optimize the results. If you are one of these people, a degree in sports science may be for you. Sports science encompasses several subjects, giving graduates plenty of opportunities for employment in their favorite field (no pun intended). You could end up coaching a team to glory, helping athletes reach their personal peak, or carrying out research that revolutionizes your favorite sport. Best of all, studying sports science abroad allows you to do all this while immersing yourself in another country's sports culture. You'll learn about new teams, customs, and attitudes to sport, but most of all you'll come to appreciate how sport is a unifying force that crosses borders. At an undergraduate level, you will learn about the human body and how it reacts to exercise, as well as other related fields like nutrition or psychology.
