Course summary
You'll learn about physiology, sociology, psychology and biomechanics. At the same time, your studies give you an in-depth understanding of sport coaching, social policy, sport development and the social issues in sport and exercise. Learning sport coaching and sport development together is very helpful, as the two often overlap in the workplace.
A very practical degreeYou'll get lots of practical experience such as work placements and internships (paid where possible). This helps you to put theory into practice, and prepare for national governing body or industry qualifications.All of which looks good on your CV when it comes to employment after graduation.
