Content
"Our courses provide you with an understanding of
the scientific basis of sports performance and the factors
influencing behaviour in sport. You will develop your
knowledge and understanding of selected sports as well
as an insight into the application of research to performance.
At Level 1 you study a broad range of sport sciences subjects,
after which you follow your selected course. One of your
options is to continue to follow a multi-disciplinary
route.
The Administration and Development course
develops your understanding about sport in different historical,
cultural, economic and social contexts, and about its
organisation and development as a global industry. Moral,
ethical and legal dimensions are examined and related
to local and international examples.
The Coaching course develops your understanding
of facts, concepts and theories in a range of sports related
disciplines as they affect human responses and adaptations
to sport. You will examine methods used to monitor, evaluate,
plan, deliver, reflect and modify technique, to enhance
sports performance and your coaching. The Exercise and
Fitness course allows you to practise techniques used
to monitor, evaluate and enhance sport and exercise performance
within appropriate settings and learn how to design, conduct
and analyse training programmes. The course gives you
a broad understanding of the health and fitness industry,
which should prepare you for a career in the exercise
and fitness industry or a lab setting.
The Physical Education course give you
the opportunity to learn about physical education in a
historical and social context and in relation to the National
Curriculum, and to discuss relevant moral, ethical and
participation issues. It is an excellent preparation for
students wishing to study for a PGCE qualification.
