Can ' t help you with the NS stuff , but I can share more about the Sports Science stuff . I graduated with both a Bachelor ' s and Master ' s degree in the UK in Sports Exercise Science . First of all , you should research into which part of the Sports Science industry you want to be in . Modules that form part of the curriculum in Sports Science tend to be Physiology , Biomechanics , Performance Analysis , Psychology , Nutrition and Training . If you intend to be a physiotherapists , it ' s recommended that you do not do Sports Science and go down the actual Medical Physiotherapist route . I majored in Biomechanics and did a placement with several major sports brand , researching the latest sporting equipments such as footballs , football boots , aerodynamic helmets for the British cycling team etc . After graduation , I was employed by the British Olympic Swim team as part of their Biomechanics department . One of my course mate was from Singapore and he actually went back to Singapore and got employed as a Performance Analyst for the National Singapore Power Lifting team . Last I heard , he quit after 2 years due to lack of funding in Singapore for Sports in general and also the lack of opportunities in moving up the career path . TLDR Research the specific sector within Sports Science that you want to get involved with .
