Task 1

SportSummer 2020 Study Tasks

To get you switched on to the world of ‘Sport, fitness and Wellbeing’ (probably the best career in the world), we have created some activities and tasks to test your current knowledge and highlight some areas you may be covering in September 2020…

Firstly, let’s look at some basic anatomy. Click the links to take part in the online activities.

Welcome to Boston College! We are really pleased you have applied to study with us and we are looking forward to you joining us in September. We want to make sure you have the best possible start, so to help you to prepare and to make sure you are on the right course, your tutors have set the below three tasks for you to have a go at over the summer. We would highly recommend having a go at the tasks, however these are not compulsory, so if you are unable to complete them it will not affect your place on the course.

Please see the Summer Study Task web page for information on how to submit your work.

If you require any help with the tasks please contact your Programme Area Manager James Wright by emailing james-w@boston.ac.uk
