In this course students will learn from academics who regularly work and consult with international teams, national governing bodies, elite clubs and athletes. Middlesex University's pioneering programme is designed to prepare students for accreditation with the International Society of Performance Analysis of Sport. Students will learn how to identify and develop performance indicators, how to create performance profiles, how to test reliability and get to grips with performance analysis software that is used in the industry.
Students will gain experience as a performance analyst through the work-placement module. One of Middlesex' partner organisations is Saracens Rugby Club and their facilities are housed at their nearby Allianz Park stadium where they boast world-class performance laboratories, rehabilitation units and testing facilities. Students will build invaluable industry contacts and Middlesex maintains contact with many graduates who have gone on to work in professional sport with clubs like Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City, Charlton FC, Saracens RFC and organisations like the English Institute of Sport, the RFU and the Lawn Tennis Association to name a few.
