This is an active and interactive programme and you will develop your skills and self-belief on a programme that supports the direction you choose.

We’re also proud to be an education partner of CIMSPA (The Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity) – a professional development body for the UK’s sport and physical activity sector. Our graduates are well prepared to go on to exciting things – from working as referees or with sports teams and biomechanics firms, to providing sports statistics for BBC and Sky, coaching children, and teaching at all levels.

The BSc (Hons) Sport Coaching offers a practical and inclusive route into the science of movement, health and human performance. You will explore how physical activity supports wellbeing, how the body and mind respond to exercise, and how coaching practice can be adapted to meet individual needs. The course combines academic study with hands-on experience, using specialist facilities and applied projects to develop your technical and professional skills. Whether you are interested in coaching, consultancy, performance analysis or education, this degree equips you to apply scientific knowledge with confidence and care.
