Bachelor in Sports Studies with Smart Technology (BSST067) at LSTH

Sport has quietly become one of the most data-rich industries on the planet — heart-rate sensors, GPS vests, video analysis, smart venue systems. At the same time, sport sits inside the broader tourism, leisure and event economy that brings spectators, athletes and brands across borders. The Bachelor in Sports Studies with Smart Technology (BSST067) sits at that crossover. It is a sports-studies degree for people who also want to be confident with the technology that surrounds modern sport.

You will work through performance principles, the sports-tourism and leisure-management context, and the digital tools that coaches, clubs and venues now treat as standard kit.

Why Sport-Plus-Technology Matters Now

Clubs and leisure venues no longer recruit purely on athletic or coaching credentials. They want graduates who can read performance data, work with smart-venue systems and understand the leisure-tourism economy that funds modern sport. The Bachelor in Sports Studies with Smart Technology gives you that double profile.

Who the BSST067 Is For

School leavers with a strong interest in sport and technology rather than only one.
Athletes transitioning out of competitive sport into coaching, analysis or operations.
Leisure-centre or club staff wanting an undergraduate qualification.
Career changers interested in the sports-tourism and event-venue side of the industry.

Career Paths After Graduation

Graduates of the Bachelor in Sports Studies with Smart Technology typically move into performance analyst, leisure-centre management, sports-venue operations, sports-tourism coordination or technology-supplier roles. The combination of sports literacy and digital fluency is rarer than either skill alone, which helps in interviews.
