Course content This programme is the only one in Scotland that is Sports Coaching and Development. The programme was developed in consultation with national sport organisations, national governing bodies, national and local sport industry personnel and expert coaches.

The course has been running within Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC) since 2008 and has been updated and validated within UWS for 2017 entrants. Year 1 Topics are: sport coaching, sport development, academic skills, sports performance and volunteering in sport. This provides an overview and introduction to the disciplines within the sports coaching and development industry as well as the skills to investigate these topics in an academic manner.
