Program description
Sports development and coaching need more well-qualified graduates who understand the complexities and fast-paced nature of the industry. This Sports Development and Coaching degree includes everything from grassroots efforts to training top athletes on a global scale.
You will study about physiology, sociology, psychology, and biomechanics. Simultaneously, your courses provide you with a thorough grasp of sport coaching, social policy, sport development, and social concerns in sport and fitness. Learning sport coaching and sport development simultaneously is quite beneficial, since the two often intersect in the workplace.
You will get a lot of practical experience via job placements and internships (paid where feasible). This allows you to apply theory in practice and prepare for national governing body or industry credentials.
