The Bachelor of Sports Sciences is a comprehensive three-year undergraduate programme designed to provide students with a multidisciplinary understanding of human performance, athletic development, and applied sports science. The curriculum integrates core scientific domains such as biomechanics, exercise physiology, sports psychology, nutrition, motor learning, and training methodologies with practical applications in performance testing, fitness management, and athlete support systems.
The programme offers a major in Sports Sciences, complemented by a minor in Sports Analytics, enabling learners to combine scientific inquiry with data-driven performance analysis and emerging digital technologies in sport. Students gain extensive hands-on experience through laboratory work, field-based assessments, research-oriented learning, and internships with sports academies, fitness centres, and sports science laboratories. Graduates are prepared for professional practice in sports performance, conditioning, analytics, and rehabilitation, while also developing a strong foundation for postgraduate study and research in sports sciences and allied disciplines.
Duration : 3 + 1 Years (6–8 Semesters, as per NEP framework)
No. of Credits :
A candidate who has successfully completed Level 4 / Class 12 schooling (through formal schooling or the open school system) or its equivalent is eligible for admission to undergraduate sports programmes.
Applicants who have not studied the requisite discipline-specific subjects may be required to complete prescribed bridge courses, as determined by the University.

Graduates of the Bachelor of Sports Sciences are well-prepared for diverse and evolving professional pathways, including:
Applied Sports Science and Human Performance Practice
Graduates advance human performance by applying scientific principles from exercise physiology, biomechanics, nutrition, and motor learning to training, conditioning, and recovery contexts. They conduct physiological and biomechanical assessments, design performance-optimisation strategies, and support evidence-based practice in high-performance and fitness settings.
Performance Analysis, Sports Analytics, and Informatics Systems
Graduates analyse movement, match, and training data to inform tactical decisions, performance optimisation, and long-term athlete development. By integrating sports analytics, performance analysis, and informatics with digital tools, video analysis, and wearable technologies, they translate complex datasets into actionable insights for coaches and organisations.
Strength, Conditioning, and Rehabilitation Support
Graduates design and implement strength and conditioning programmes grounded in physiological assessment, load monitoring, and injury-risk management. Working alongside medical and allied health professionals, they support rehabilitation, reconditioning, and safe return-to-performance processes.
Sports Research, Health Promotion, and Evidence-Based Inquiry
Graduates engage in scientific inquiry through research design, laboratory testing, data interpretation, and applied evaluation in sports science contexts. They contribute to research projects, performance audits, and health promotion initiatives that address physical activity, wellness, and population health.
Sports Technology, Innovation, and Applied Industry Integration
Graduates operate at the intersection of sport, science, and technology by supporting the application of AI-enabled systems, adaptive sports technologies, and digital performance platforms. They contribute to technology testing, innovation projects, and applied consultancy within sports organisations, fitness enterprises, and performance laboratories, ensuring ethical and effective use of emerging tools in sport and human performance.
Entrepreneurial, Consulting, and Interdisciplinary Practice
Graduates initiate and manage consultancy services, sport science support ventures, and interdisciplinary practice models that integrate performance analysis, conditioning, rehabilitation, and wellness services. By combining scientific expertise with communication and digital engagement skills, they create sustainable professional pathways in applied sport science and health consultancy, responding to evolving industry and societal needs.
Together, these pathways equip graduates with scientific depth, analytical capability, and interdisciplinary adaptability, enabling sustained professional relevance and meaningful contribution across performance, health, research, and innovation domains as the sports sciences continue to advance.
Students can begin by enrolling in a BSc in Sports Science course and later specialise in the field by pursuing a Master's degree. Several universities and colleges in India and abroad offer specialised programmes in Sports Science.
Some of the highest-paying Sports Science jobs include sports medicine physician, sports psychologist, sports scientist, and sports management executive.
To study sports science, students complete their 10+2 education with at least 50% marks in any stream Science, Commerce, or Arts while English is compulsory. A strong foundation in the Sciences, particularly Human Biology and Psychology, is vital. Additionally, having a keen interest in sports is essential for success in this field.
