Reputation
There is a strong link between research and teaching enhanced by Sport Sciences' vibrant research culture with its two research centres, regular seminar programme and visiting scholars. There are staff with national and international reputations for their research and publications and some who are accredited by the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES), which enables them to work with high performance athletes.
Cutting Edge
Our research is at the forefront of research in Sport Sciences - we teach at the cutting edge and our students learn from the specialists who are generating the new knowledge in Sport Sciences. Consequently, a postgraduate qualification from Brunel is one way to enhance your employability in this field.
Our work with major sport agencies, policy makers and blue chip companies is evidence of how our expertise is recognised by the sport sector at all levels and a strong indicator of the relevance, topical and up-to-date nature of our work.

There are multiple benefits for students from these relationships, both in terms of knowledge but also through placements and dissertation opportunities.
Among others, we work with Sport England, UK Sport, UK Athletics, British Cycling, the English Institute of Sport, the Commonwealth Secretariat, British Psychological Society, NSPCC, local health partnerships, the United Nations and UNICEF, the FA, the ICC, StreetGames, IMG and Nike....and of course with schools and coaches.
