About this course

Course option

1year

Full-time | 2025

The course is delivered at University Centre Myerscough and awarded by the University of Central Lancashire. The course offers a fast-track route to achieving an Honours Degree, for students holding a golf-related Foundation Degree or Higher National Diploma. The course provides an excellent coaching and performance-based golf programme, which is designed to equip students with an understanding of the science and practice of golf coaching and performance. There are two main areas within golf coaching - one at community/club level and the other at an elite level. The two main areas of performance are elite level based: firstly, with a focus on conditioning – both the mental and physical aspects, and secondly, the scientific considerations within sports performance e.g. nutrition, anatomy & physiology and biomechanics.

To assist in the delivery of the modules and the development of students' golf skills the College has a number of fantastic facilities. These include: a 9 hole golf course, a driving range, video analysis equipment, biomechanics RS Footscan, Science & Motion putting lab, Flightscope, Trackman, K-Vest, Indoor Golf Academy, Sports Centre and Fitness Suite, putting and chipping areas, and golf simulators (including GC2).

Six modules are studied, allowing for analysis of coaching and performance issues underpinning golf. There are three compulsory modules plus a choice from optional modules. There will be opportunities for independent study in the form of a project. If you choose the latter, you will then complete all optional modules to meet credit requirements. An ethos of career planning and development runs through the curriculum, in order to develop employability and prepare students for a successful career in the UK or overseas.

The course is designed twofold: firstly, to enable students to have the skills and knowledge to coach at elite levels or within a community based context. Secondly, for students to deliver performance based elements of golf at an elite level. Students will have the opportunity to develop their coaching and performance based skills working with the College's Elite Golf Squads and Golf Academy members.

It should be noted that to succeed on this course it is not a pre requisite to be a low handicap golfer. However, a strong interest in both golf coaching and performance, with a desire to improve others and your own game is important. This will be assessed as part of the application process.

The Longitudinal Educational Outcomes dataset combines HRMC earnings data with student records from the Higher Education Statistics Agency.

While there are lots of factors at play when it comes to your future earnings, use this as a rough timeline of what graduates in this subject area were earning on average one, three and five years later. Can you see a steady increase in salary, or did grads need some experience under their belt before seeing a nice bump up in their pay packet?
