Over 70 applicants wereenrolled, though not all as full-timestudents, into units in the first year.For 2013, current TISC data showsthat the course is particularlypopular. Over 850 applicants havelisted the course as one of their sixpreferences, many more than neededto fill the ~125 places on offer.To deliver the units in the four subdisciplinesof biomechanics, motorlearning and control, exercise andsports physiology, and exercise andsports psychology in 2013, four newstaff will be joining the Schoolbetween November 2012 andFebruary 2013.
