BA (Hons) Sport Development
The University of Chester
Course detail:
This degree programme defines sport development as a proactive intervention that normally involves targeted work with specific sections of the community or with certain sports. The BA (Hons) Sport Development programme is vocational in its philosophy, and therefore concerns itself specifically with a community’s development of sport, as well as community development through sport. The programme allows students to evaluate the evidence base for the strategies for changing and challenging behaviour – which is a fundamental part of sport development.
