This course is aimed at students who love sport and wish to study sport, with particular focus on the theoretical side.
This course will allow students to develop and apply the skills required:
– to perform effectively in physical activities;
– in roles such as performer, leader and official within physical activities;
– to understand the factors that enable performers to be physically active;
– to understand how performers can make the most of the opportunities and pathways;
– to understand and evaluate current key influences that might limit or encourage people’s involvement in physical activity.
What Next?
The course is designed to equip individuals with the knowledge, understanding and practical skills required for success in the sport and recreation industries, or for entry into Higher National or undergraduate degree programmes in physical education, sport science, sports development or sports coaching. It may allow progression onto physiotherapy programmes with an additional science qualification (A2 Biology).
