What is a university specialism?

Universities have the option of completing the title of their degree qualifications by including references to the specialisation pathways in their own curriculum, with optional subjects that are grouped into specialisms.

In the Bachelor’s Degree in Sports Science (CAFYD), in the fourth academic year, the available specialisms are the following:
