BSc Sport Psychology

The BSc Sports Psychology at Leeds Trinity University will teach students key concepts and theories specific to sport psychology and give them a grounding in the core elements of psychology. This approach will enable them to consider how key areas of psychology apply to all levels of sport, from grassroots football to Olympic competition, as well as how to understand the ‘human’ elements of sports participation. 

Throughout the course, students will explore core theories of psychology, including social, cognitive and developmental psychology, as well as focusing on the development of professional and research-related skills required within psychology practice. 

As their studies progress, students will continue to develop their professional skills of psychological knowledge, focusing on the role of the sport psychologist and the numerous duties and responsibilities that a sport psychologist might fulfil as part of their work.

In their final year, they will apply the skills and knowledge they have developed by critically examining the organisational contexts and factors which might influence a sport psychologist’s applied practice.
