BA Hons Physical Education and Sports Coaching

You'll practise teaching in a range of settings, from primary and secondary physical education to community coaching. You'll develop an appreciation of how the disciplines of physical education and sports coaching complement each other, studying a combination of practical and theoretical modules in pedagogy, sociology of sport, sports science, research methods, sports policy and philosophy. Our vocational approach means you'll learn by doing, applying theory to a range of practical activities such as games, athletics, outdoor adventurous activities, gymnastics and dance activities. Thanks to our fantastic employer links, you'll have the opportunity to work with schools and professional sports clubs and we'll encourage you to volunteer or work in physical education and sports coaching alongside your studies. You'll also have the opportunity to undertake coaching awards in a wide range of sports.
