Sport Development and Coaching

About

Sports coaches inspire teams and individuals to achieve their goals, working across a variety of sports and a range of levels, from elite athletes to local clubs.

Drawing on contemporary research, the degree aims to help students to develop their expertise and knowledge in a range of academic and vocational activities. These can include coaching on school and community-based projects, exercise prescription and fitness testing, and managing and evaluating sport development schemes.

The first year introduces students to areas of study such as the sport development environment, physical literacy, sociological issues, and the foundations of sport and exercise science. It includes core modules such as the Fundamentals of Teaching and Coaching, and Research Skills, both of which are developed further in the second and third years.

Students are able to tailor their learning to suit their individual interests and career aspirations by choosing from a range of optional modules. These
include Physical Activity and Health; Performance Analysis; Psychology of Performance and Participation; and Project Management for Sport.

In their third year, students are expected to complete a dissertation, which enables them to undertake independent study on a topic of their choice and work to develop key skills, such as critical analysis and evaluation.
