The BA (Hons) in Physical Education Studies aims to equip learners with the knowledge, skills, and specific expertise to pursue successful leadership roles in sports-related or business contexts. A key focus of this program is to provide graduates with the knowledge and applied skills to develop, implement and manage inclusive physical activity programs that promote healthy eating, lifestyle management, and overall wellness.

 

The modules comprising this study of Physical Education are mapped on the programme’s key themes of physical activity, lifestyle and wellness, and business. Although the programme title does not mention Business Studies, the BA (Hons) in Physical Education Studies includes 60 ECTs of business-specific modules, an integrated work placement or study abroad option in the third year and culminates in an applied research consultancy project in the fourth year.

 

Please note this degree does not qualify you to teach Physical Education and/or Business in Post-Primary Schools until you complete a Professional Master of Education (PME) at a University of your choosing.
