PE AND SPORTS COACHING BA (HONS)
For those of you that are dedicated to sharing your
passion for sport but are not sure if you want to do
this through a career in teaching or coaching, this
course offers you the flexibility to study both at a
high level before making your decision.
The BA (Hons) in PE and Sports Coaching will build
on your existing knowledge of teaching and coaching
and prepare you for an exciting career as a sport
professional. In recent years developments such as
the hugely successful 2012 Olympic Games and the
growing recognition that as a nation we are
becoming increasingly sedentary have prompted a
push forward in the professionalisation of sports
coaching. The introduction of the UK Coaching
Certificate (UKCC) has begun the process of
centralising coaching as a profession and there is an
increasing call for better coach education to create a
world-leading work force. At Chichester, we are
pushing things forward and we take the lead in
training young professionals.
You will study modules in a wide variety of subject
areas such as physiology, psychology, performance
analysis, pedagogy, sociology, professional issues and
research methods. You will also get ample time on
placement to practice what you have learnt.
Our graduates go into a variety of different careers
including coaching in schools, performance analysts in
high-profile clubs, freelance coaching, coach educators,
coaching in clubs and centres and teacher training.
