Students on this programme will have a placement in each year to enhance their employability and provide an opportunity to apply their skills and knowledge in a workplace. Students will be required to work alongside other professionals in the sector and reflect on their practice so they develop the ability to be critically self-evaluative. You may also be given the opportunity to participate in a range of volunteering opportunities in order to enhance both your skills and CV. The HE Sports team work closely with local employers to develop work- based learning projects which are beneficial to students and the organisations. Taught modules will provide the knowledge and theoretical input for these projects and the module Applied Practice in Community Settings will be the main vehicle for students to develop programmes for a specific audience. Students will develop a range of skills such as communication with diverse audiences, leadership and teamwork, essential for a career in the Industry. Practical sessions will be held in the Trinity Green building which provides excellent sports facilities.

Such opportunities will continue to be sought in order to provide students with exciting opportunities.
