Program Description
This rugby coaching course offers a unique opportunity to work towards industry-recognised World Rugby/Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) rugby coaching awards. This means students can be confident they’ll graduate with enhanced employment prospects in the field.
USW's rugby course is supported by the WRU and professional rugby regions in Wales. It has been designed in consultation with WRU Coach Education Managers, Cardiff Rugby, Dragons, Scarlets, and Ospreys coach educators and United Kingdom Strength and Conditioning Association (UKSCA) strength and conditioning experts, and many of these staff contribute to the course.
Students can work towards their Rugby Union Level 1 and 2 Children’s and Senior World Rugby & Welsh Rugby Union Rugby Coaching awards, Level 1 and 2 Refereeing qualifications, and gain relevant experience within Performance Analysis and Strength and Conditioning modules, which provide experience of working in those areas.
