It’s been amazing to be taught by some of the top researchers in the area and to hear about the new research that is constantly emerging and being given a deeper insight into the world of Sport Psychology has been really interesting.
I love the real-world applications from what I am learning. A lot of what I learn can be observed outside of a lecture theatre which makes it even more intriguing. I have loved the diversity of the course too. It has not only drawn on knowledge that I already had, but it has also opened up a whole new world of work that I had no idea about.
I also enjoy the constant challenges that my course presents me with. Having a basic knowledge of the area has really helped me, but I’ve thrived with what I have been faced with as I’m constantly tested to further delve into my studying.
My favourite module was ‘The Psychology of Eating Behaviour,’ because was the most engaging module that I had. All my lecturers were invested in what they were teaching which made the content a lot more appealing. The coursework element was extremely fun as we were quite unrestricted in what we wrote about. We had the opportunity to choose any media article we liked and talk about how it sensationalised a specific area of eating behaviour research. It was one of the most limitless pieces of coursework that I had undertaken, and I found myself captivated by what I was uncovering when researching into the area. There was a lot of student-teacher engagement too and we had ample opportunities to contribute our own thoughts during lectures which led to some really interesting conversations and motivated me to learn more.
