Learning outcomes
On completion of this module, students should be able to...
1. Evaluate and apply knowledge from the sub-disciplines of sport and exercise science to a self-chosen theme
2. Produce an applied analysis of a self-chosen setting in the form of a substantive report
Aims
This module continues the approach taken in the Level One and Two modules 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 this culminates in this Level Three module with the final submission of an applied report. Applied and thematic studies also provides an opportunity for the structured development of a number of key generic skills and for career planning and enchancement.
1. To develop the application of sport and exercise science to a self-chosen theme.
2. Provide knowledge of subsidiary and contextual topics such as politics, sociology etc.
3. Develop independent, self-directed and co-operative approaches to study.
