Course Summary

This degree programme prepares you for the world of work, and graduating students will be well equipped to enter employment in a variety of sport related settings. It is highly recommended that students seek short professional qualifications throughout this programme of study, such as National Governing Body sports coaching qualifications related to your chosen area of progression, to enhance your employability. A range of these will be offered to students (at a cost) throughout your course. Revision programmes are available for undergraduates and graduates who require GCSE equivalency qualifications in Maths, English and Science or who need to refresh their current knowledge in order to pass Key Skills Tests for entry onto Initial Teacher Training programmes. Note – this programme will not give Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) to those wishing to become Secondary Physical Education teachers A further teaching qualification such as a PGCE would be needed to obtain QTS. Additionally, those wishing to become fully qualified sports coaches will need to complete an additional United Kingdom Coaching Certificate (UKCC) provided by a National Governing Body (NGB) of sport . Though this degree programme will not incorporate the UKCC, a number of opportunities to complete such additional qualifications will be offered throughout the programme. All students will be required to undertake an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check (DBS – previously CRB) prior to starting the programme (at a cost to the student – seehttps://www.gov.uk/disclosure-barring-service-check/overview). This will be necessary in order to complete work experience for the Professional Practice module and to obtain paid employment in a PE teaching, sports coaching or sports development role in the future. Further details will be provided on enrolment in Freshers’ week.
