This module continues the approach begun with the Level One module in Applied and Thematic Studies. The primary purpose is to allow the integration and application of students' developing knowledge in the sub-disciplines of sport and exercise science. A feature of the ATS modules is to allow students to develop a theme in which they have a genuine personal interest and in this Level Two module a client-centered approach is taken. Applied and thematic studies also provides an opportunity for the structured development of a number of key generic skills and for career planning and ehancement.
