Students will examine the theory of physical education, sport and coaching science across education, leisure and community sectors. A learn-and-do ethos will see classes complemented by practical sessions, while experience in schools and community groups will provide real-world application.
Students will benefit from the support and first-hand knowledge of professionals. Alongside this, they will have access to numerous facilities, including the University of Cumbria's sports hall, functional fitness training room, human performance laboratories and specialist IT rooms.
Students will have numerous career options upon graduation including sport coaching, teaching, sport development, elite performance analysis and personal training.
In this course students will:
- Gain academic and vocational key skills through both classroom and community engagement projects linked to specific modules.
- Be taught in small class sizes which means students get to know their class and tutors well, allowing them to feel supported during their studies.
- Have access to an extensive range of partner organizations in sport including Active Cumbria, Active Lancashire and Golf England facilitating learning opportunities, guest speakers and placements.
- Follow the successes of graduates who have pursued careers in PE teaching, sport development, event management, high-performance coaching and community coaching roles.
