Sports Science: Fully Funded PhD Scholarship: Development, Evaluation and Application of Immersive Learning Environments for Performance Sport
1 week ago
Funding providers: Swansea Bay City Deal (SBCD) Digital Infrastructure Project)
Subject areas: Sport and Exercise Sciences, Simulation and Immersive Learning
Project description:
This exciting new project is the first formal collaboration between Swansea University's world-leading Simulation and Immersive Learning Centre (SUSIM) and Department of Sport and Exercise Sciences. Over the last year, these two groups have developed interdisciplinary collaborations and conducted pilot projects in specific sporting applications. This PhD project will now expedite this process by formally leading the exploration of viable opportunities for the application of immersive learning environments to address key performance questions in sport. The successful candidate will work with a range of existing and new high performance sporting partners of the Elite and Professional Sport research group to identify areas where immersive learning has the potential to positively impact their performance through a variety of different means (for example, but not limited to, training applications, competition environment familiarisation, data visualisation). Empirical studies will then be designed and conducted to assess the effectiveness of selected potential applications. Both of these prior two aspects of the project may also be used to help inform the design of a sports-specific immersive laboratory within the new Swansea Bay City Deal Campuses Project development.
Eligibility
Candidates must hold a UK Bachelor degree with a minimum of Upper Second Class honours in Sports Science or similar relevant science discipline, or overseas Bachelor degree deemed equivalent to UK Bachelor (by UK ECCTIS) in Sports Science or similar relevant science discipline and achieved a grade equivalent to UK Upper Second Class honours.
English Language: IELTS 6.5 Overall (with no individual component below 5.5) or Swansea University recognised equivalent.
Due to funding restrictions, this scholarship is open to applicants eligible to pay tuition fees at the UK rate only, as defined by UKCISA regulations.
