The Cambridge Nationals in Sports Studies take a more sector-based focus, whilst also encompassing some core sport/physical education themes where you will use your learning in practical, real-life situations, such as: 

• Understanding contemporary issues in sport and how they impact on different sporting activities.

• Applying your skills as both a performer in two different sporting activities and as a leader in one sporting activity.

• How to be a sports leader, through using your initiative to solve problems and making decisions when dealing with rapidly changing conditions and situations.

• Understanding the relationship between sport and the media and applying this to real life examples.

• How to evaluate and interpret the different ways in which sport is represented by the media.

• Applying your skills to participate in an outdoor and adventurous activity in a natural setting and environment.
