  • Dear All, 

    Welcome to 2660 - Applied Sports Projects. 
    
    

    This course was designed for students to conduct projects applying the skills, concepts, and techniques acquired in the MSc taught programme to practice-based scenarios related to sports organisations. 

    
    The delivery methods include: 

    • Lecture: typical, whole class session, in which the foundations of the course are presented (week 1)
    • Team sessions: students present the progress of their work (deliverables are predetermined in course planning) and receive feedback (weeks 3-5; 7-11).
    • Drop-in sessions: course instructor and grader/teaching assistant available for those who need extra support with their projects (weeks 2 and 6; an extra session can be arranged after the last team session)
    •  Self-oriented work: A list of recommended materials to read and/or tasks are indicated weekly.

     

    Please see all details below in the Syllabus files.
