An engaging, industry-aligned and values-led course, the Sport Performance and Coaching BSc (Hons) aims to provide you with the knowledge, skills and experience required to progress successfully into employment or postgraduate study.

 

The course has been designed to be broad in scope and is therefore both interdisciplinary and inter-professional. The curriculum aims to enable you to acquire a robust understanding of professional, applied practice in the sport coaching and sport performance sectors.
