Course summary

From teaching that draws on scenarios from the sport engineering industry to being involved in research from day one – you’ll experience teaching firmly focused on the real world.

The sport engineering industry looks to help solve problems associated with sport, health and exercise. It is a relatively new but rapidly expanding area which is attracting large interest and investment from professional sports clubs, sportswear and equipment manufacturers as well as health and wellbeing app and wearable technology developers.

Our industry projects and annual Grand Challenge are great ways to apply your skills and develop hands-on experience valued by employers. You will present your results at an end of year show before focusing on your individual research project.

Your individual project is part of the Masters level modules for the MEng qualification – developing your knowledge at the next level. We take this approach to make you think, work and behave like a professional engineer.

Thanks to our fantastic industry links in the sport and well-being sector, we bring sport engineering off the page.

T Level

We will consider T Levels for entry to this course, either as stand-alone qualifications or in conjunction with other Level 3 qualifications, in accordance with the specified course tariff points.

A lower offer may be made based on a range of factors, including your background (such as where you live and the school or college you attended), your experiences and individual circumstances (you may have been in care, for example). This is called a contextual offer and we get data from UCAS to make these decisions. NTU offers a student experience like no other, and this approach helps us to find students who have the potential to succeed here, but may have faced barriers that can make it more difficult to access university.

We also consider equivalent qualifications and combinations. Please contact Nottingham Trent University Admissions team for further information.
