Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Adventure Sport Science (Placement Year) (C61P)

Bangor University

The Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Adventure Sport Science course is a unique combination of essential Sport Science knowledge (psychology, physiology, and coaching) with the opportunity to develop students' adventure tourism and outdoor practitioner skills. They will apply this knowledge in various field-based settings, work-based environments and state-of-the-art labs including high altitude and environmental chambers. Graduating with ‘hands on’ experience and an understanding of human responses to adventure environments and performance in adventure sports, they will have the skills for a career in the expanding adventure market.

The Placement Year provides students with a fantastic opportunity to broaden their horizons and develop valuable skills and contacts through working with a self-sourced organisation relevant to their degree subject. The minimum period in placement (at one or more locations) is seven calendar months; more usually they would spend 10-12 months with a placement provider.
