Hear from a tutor and student about studying Sports Psychology at Liverpool Hope.
Sport Psychology employs the rigour of science to investigate how people perceive the world, structure their thinking, solve problems and interact with others, set against the context of sport and exercise. The course is firmly embedded in both the discipline of Psychology and Sport & Exercise Science. This approach allows students to study seminal psychological theory and apply this to a variety of sport and exercise settings on a course accredited by the British Psychological Society.
Students will take an interdisciplinary approach to the study of Sport Psychology, preparing for work as a practitioner in elite sport, exercise, and broader community health settings. The curriculum contains high level, research informed teaching delivered by skilled educators, drawing on their own research and applied expertise. The course is designed to deliver a tailored skills-based experience which is underpinned by a foundation in subject knowledge and research skills and experience. Students will also learn key transferable skills, enabling them to apply knowledge and undertake their own research, exploring the impact of Sport Psychology across specialist populations and in different contexts.
The curriculum is focused on the development and support of the students as individuals, and staff know the students by name, fostering an environment of mutual trust and respect. Students are supported in becoming independent learners capable of questioning the world around them, with an emphasis on ethical issues relating to wellbeing, competition and research.
