The NUI Galway BE/MEngSc Sports & Exercise Engineering programme is a professional Engineering programme whose graduates will design systems for monitoring, performing and improving sport and exercise performance.

Monitoring sports and exercise performance properly is essential to help improve that performance. The range of opportunities for the use of engineering in the design of systems to monitor sports and exercise performance is extensive.

Exercise performance can be improved by making exercise equipment more suitable for use by disabled exercisers, by designing systems to increase children’s level of physical activity or by designing more efficient sports equipment that will improve sports performance.

The programme at NUI Galway has a strong multidisciplinary focus. We will create a new type of engineer with the skills and expertise to design sports and exercise systems with a particular emphasis on Movement Assessment, Ambulatory Monitoring of Human Performance and Systems for the Assessment of Sports and Exercise.
