About

About this course

This course provides an ideal foundation for anyone wanting to begin a career in coaching players and teams to maximise their training and performance, as well as those interested in teaching physical education.

With a strong scientific focus throughout the course, you’ll study the theory that underpins performance and practical application, and develop the skills to coach people of all abilities and ages, from grassroots to elite level, and across all sports.

You’ll be taught by experts in their field during your time on campus and our links with local authority sports development units (and other organisations) open up opportunities for work experience, coaching education courses, workshops and events as part of your degree.

Plus, thanks to career-boosting opportunities like our annual Student Thesis Conference, and as the Official University Partner of Team GB, you’ll have opportunities at Hull that you can’t get anywhere else.

As well as teaching you the fundamental skills to coach and oversee the development of others, we also invest in your own potential with our Talented Athlete Programme.

Scholarships are offered to selected high-performing athletes and include a tailored package of support, advice, mentoring and personal development.

Scheduled study hours and how you’re assessed

Throughout your degree, you’re expected to study for 1,200 hours per year. That’s based on 200 hours per 20 credit module. And it includes scheduled hours, time spent on placement and independent study. How this time is divided across the year varies and depends on the module you are studying.

How you'll be assessed depends on the course you study, and the modules you choose. You may be assessed through a mix of examinations, coursework, presentations and group projects.
