BSc (Hons) Top up
SPORTS COACHING
This programme builds on your previous foundation degree/Level 5 study to
deepen your expertise in advanced coaching practice, performance analysis
and the contemporary issues shaping sport today. You will study key areas
including performance analysis, contemporary developments in sports
coaching and health, and advanced coaching practice, while also undertaking
an independent Research Project that enables you to investigate a specialist
area of interest within your coaching pathway. Learning blends applied theory,
data-informed coaching methods and practical professional development,
encouraging you to integrate higher-level academic understanding with
real-world coaching contexts. Throughout the programme, you will refine
your coaching philosophy, strengthen your analytical and reflective skills, and
develop the confidence and professional competence required for progression
into senior coaching roles, teaching or further specialist study.
