Here's what Cardiff Metropolitan University says about its Sport Performance Analysis course.
?The BSc (Hons) Sport Performance Analysis degree at Cardiff Met is an applied sport science programme that focuses on the understanding, improvement and analysis of performance in sport. The curriculum progressively develops your knowledge of tactical analysis, measuring technical effectiveness, and specific technique analysis within actual sporting performance using a range of modern techniques and technology. In addition, you will be introduced to behavioural analysis of coach and athletes, and the application of athlete tracking techniques.
The core modules in the Sport Performance Analysis degree are complemented and supplemented by modules drawn from relevant areas of coaching, pedagogy and sport and exercise science. These elements give the course a unique flavour that allow you to understand the theoretical principles and applied process skills that underpin performance analysis.
You will be given many opportunities to develop your practical and contextual knowledge in training, coaching and performance that will allow you to evaluate and modify your own professional practice as an analyst and that of performers and coaches in a range of sports. It will also enable you to develop the specific, vocational skill set necessary to embark on a career in performance analysis.
Cardiff Met also offers a foundation year for those who aspire to enrol on a Sport based honours degree, who do not have the requirements to start at Year 1. The foundation year will run at the Llandaff campus within the School of Management, and the subsequent years will be based at the Cyncoed campus within the School of Sport and Health Sciences.

It is a great university and city for students who like to party, but if you don't, it can be a little difficult and lonely to find other things to do.

The university is great at acknowledging financial difficulties with a variety of support available. For example, free breakfast. In addition, the university offers a Met-Rider Bus Pass, which is u00a3200 for the year, which helps to save a lot of money. But this year they offered it for u00a3100 to...

University accommodation is excellent but is only available for the first year. There are wardens available 24 hours a day if there is anything you may need in an emergency and cleaners who come once a week. The libraries are okay. They are quite small, but there are plenty of places outside the lib...

I feel it is a very unique course that you are unlikely to find at another university. If you aspire to work and support those with special needs or vulnerable backgrounds, it's a great course that allows you in the second year to explore topic areas more in your internet areas.

Cardiff Metropolitan University open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
