The BSc (Hons) Sports Coaching (Top up) course aims to produce graduates who are both competent and confident coaches.

Throughout the course you will explore global coaching issues, and be encouraged to utilise a range of learning, teaching and sports science technologies. You will be expected to coach both your peers and external participants.
Our strong links with sports organisations and employers mean there will be opportunities for coaching work-experience throughout the course, helping you to develop the skills to meet the real-life needs of sports people across a range of ages, level of performance, and sports settings.
In addition, you will be equipped with the skills, knowledge and attributes to work independently and as part of a team within the coaching profession, preparing you for employment opportunities in a wide range of other sport-related careers.
A good graduate of this course will be able to:
- Coach a wide range of participants in many different settings (e.g., club, school, performance, community).

You will have opportunities to participate in career development activities and network with employers from the world of sports business.
