Sports Technology combines the excellence of both sports' science and technology. This course covers industrial design, human factors and marketing for the sports equipment sector and elite sport. Based in our dedicated, purpose-built Sports Technology Institute, the course focuses on design, manufacture and testing of sports equipment, clothing and footwear, and has been specifically developed to provide the sports industry with graduates possessing the required specialist technical knowledge and skills to improve existing and develop new sports goods and products. Sports technology combines the excellence of engineering science, measurement and analysis, and sports science to relate the playing, or use characteristics, of sporting equipment to the underlying principles of product design. It reinforces this by providing an up-to-date knowledge of manufacturing processes and materials, to enable improvements in sports product performance and ease of use. The course covers industrial design, human factors and marketing for the sports equipment sector. By combining a thorough technology education with a sound design base, our graduates are ideally placed to conceive and develop innovative designs and turn them into profitable products.

What's the difference between MEng and BEng? The structure of the first two years is common between the BEng and MEng and provide you with sports equipment design and technology studies. The application of design and the solution of sports equipment and elite athlete problems is a strong theme throughout each course. The MEng structure is distinct from the BEng course in the third and fourth academic years, providing broadening and deepening of the biomechanics, health and well-being, design and technology learning experience. It enables further development of the technical aspects and addresses the strategic and managerial challenge facing the implementation of new professional and enterprise approaches in industry. Students studying on the BEng course may have opportunity to change to the MEng course if their performance in the first and second year is sufficiently strong.

Professional recognition Our BEng (Hons) Sports Technology degree is accredited by the Institution of Engineering Designers (IED) and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), both licensed by the UK Engineering Council. 

|
項目副經理 二十三級 |
A UK Engineering Council accredited course is an important mark of assurance that the course meets the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence. An accredited course is an important element for graduates to become a professionally registered designer or engineer. Graduates from an accredited design or engineering course will have achieved part or all of the underpinning knowledge for later professional registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng).

Placement year Additional award By undertaking a year on professional placement or working in industry, you will gain an additional award alongside your final qualification. If you undertake a professional placement year you will gain a Diploma in Professional Studies (DPS) or if you complete a year in industry you will gain a Diploma in Industrial Studies (DIS). The majority of undergraduate degree programmes within the Wolfson School of Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering provide students with the opportunity to undertake a salaried placement year. If you choose to undertake a year in industry, you will complete a full year of assessed industrial training typically between years two and three of your academic studies. Our dedicated placements team is notified of vacancies and opportunities throughout the academic year, and provide support with the application process to help you secure a suitable placement. Additionally, our placements team host an annual Engineering/STEM Placement and Graduate Careers Fair, which sees over 70 external companies attend, and gives students the opportunity to network and speak to experts in their chosen fields and find out more about future career opportunities. Our students have undertaken placements in a variety of organisations including clothing and footwear, leisure, performance analysis, sports equipment, sports goods and sports federations and governing bodies. Please note that whilst the department offers great support for students to find a placement, it is ultimately the student's responsibility to source and secure their industrial placement.
