    Hi there I'm wondering if there's anybody here who availed of this new course this year? Or even a rep from IT Carlow! Just wondering what this course is actually like to take part in and is it really worth it degree wise. Thanks!

    Does anyone know what's the main differences between this course and the sport science courses in carlow and what jobs could you get with this degree?

    From what I can gather, the S&C course will give you a solid foundation in that area of education & training to further your career as either a dedicated S&C coach in one of many areas, an exercise rehabilitator, work with a sports science team/lab or you could move to personal training/coaching/development.

    The main differences seem to be the ones that specialise the course, since first year looks like some general science modules, second year branches out a bit, then a bit more for third and fourth years. The S&C course is still a new course too, so it might change slightly in a year, it might not. As for people who could give advice on what jobs you could have afterwards, well the course looks to be in its first/second year so they have no graduates yet to let you know what the future holds.

    I'm not completely sure myself, but having checked out the modules maybe you can look towards graduate physio, possibly work to a sports medicine path or stuff like health & leisure where you can integrate your S&C degree into what you'll learn on the postgrad course.

    I reckon keep an eye on the Sports Science, Physiology and the Sports Rehab courses. They have a lot of shared modules and a similar points range.
