The BSc (Hons) Sport, Coaching & Development programme is ideal for students planning future careers in: sports coaching; Active Schools and sports development; disability sports development; facilities management / operations; national governing bodies of sport; academia/lecturing/teaching (particularly Physical Education). This degree has been developed to deliver up-to-date practical and professional skills based on appropriate academic theory to produce graduates who are ready for the workplace, or if appropriate, have the skills to extend their education in the area of academic research. The programme has been developed to be both vocationally and academically focused in order to provide a range of transferable skills that will be useful to graduates in an employment setting. The teaching approach is student-centred with learning taking place in an active, supportive, participatory, and context-specific environment. Students will be given support to develop a self-directed approach to their learning as they progress through the programme, with the balance between independent and directed learning remaining appropriate to the level of study. The modules presented within the programme will successfully allow students to integrate what they learn at university with what they will experience in the sports coaching and development industry. Additionally, students wishing to continue their studies will be eligible to undertake a range of postgraduate programmes within sport and related subjects such as physical education, sports coaching, primary education and sport development. The School’s overall aim for all its provision, seeks to enable students to develop the graduate skills that will enhance their employability and anticipate the skills needed to support industries in the West of Scotland and beyond. To that end, the programme is designed in line with the ‘I am UWS’ graduate attributes. These graduate attributes are prominent throughout the 4 years of the course with the purpose of making students: -Universal – globally relevant with comprehensively applicable abilities, skills and behaviours; Work Ready – dynamic and prepared for employment; Successful – a solid foundation on which to continue succeeding and realising their potential. These graduate attributes have been carefully mapped throughout the programme and it is of great importance to us that graduates embody them as they move into employment in the sports coaching and development industry. The learning and teaching strategy is designed to help students master the learning outcomes and also to allow them to demonstrate their highest level of competency. Many of the modules contain learning outcomes that are practical in nature. Students will acquire practical knowledge and understanding through a variety of activities that simulate workplace practices and procedures. This promotes gradually increasing student autonomy and active learning that allow students to apply both knowledge and practical skills at progressively higher levels throughout the programme. The theoretical aspects of the programme are developed through online asynchronous activities, traditional lecture formats and tutorial settings. This approach enables students to engage with theories, concepts and principles in a critical and evaluative way and to develop their own critical, analytical and reflective skills as they progress through the levels of the programme. The programme will involve tutor-led lectures; tutorials and seminars; one to one interaction; practical workshops and exercises in a simulated work environment; small group teaching and group project work; online learning; peer learning through discussion of colleagues work; independent learning; and external work experience.
