Throughout the course, you will gain practical coaching experience in a variety of situations, ranging from coaching fellow students in the first year to completion of external coaching placements during years 2 and 3.

We have established links with many sports organisations where you can complete coaching placements as part of the course.

Year 1

Modules

Fundamentals of Coaching

This module will enable you to develop your understanding of roles, responsibilities and processes of coaching. The content focus is on consideration of the many foundation skills and knowledge bases required to create a successful coaching environment. You will reflect on your coaching experience in order to re-conceptualise coaching, and practice your coaching skills in unfamiliar and challenging contexts. The module will also explore implications to coaching of policy and legislation.
Practical Application of Coaching

This module will give you the opportunity to apply fundamental coaching principles in a range of different settings. The module targets the planning, application and reflection of foundation skills which are generic to all coaching contexts. You will be challenged to display fundamental coaching skills in increasingly challenging contexts. Alongside this practically oriented module, you will contribute to on-going analysis and discussion of coaching case studies.
Who Runs Sport?

Understanding why sport is structured and organised in the way it is has become the most important factor for anyone thinking of developing a career in sport. This module will introduce you to issues of governance, government, policy initiatives, funding and media coverage. Content includes a view of the relationships between sport and sports coaching, sport and health/physical activity, sport and physical education, the sources of funding for sport and why sport is such 'big business'.
Sport Practical, Physical Activity and Performance

This module will introduce several sports and physical activities from four categories (invasion games, divided court games, aquatics and also striking and fielding games). The combination of physical activity, knowledge, and applied physiology knowledge will enable you to develop a greater understanding of the demands on the activity. You will acquire the breadth of understanding necessary to provide the basis for further developments in one or more of these categories at levels five and six.
Science of Movement

This module combines the study of physiology, psychology and biomechanics into a module designed to meet the needs of PE, sports studies and sports-coaching-based students.

You will develop an understanding of muscular and cardiovascular aspects of human development and movement. You will study skill acquisition and gain an understanding of motor control. Finally, you will develop biomechanical understanding through recording, analysing and evaluating human movement and performance using qualitative analysis.
The Scientific Study of Sport and Exercise

This module will provide you with basic skills in critical analysis, interpretation and analysis of numerical data, and research methods, which are fundamental for a sport and exercise science graduate.

Where health course includes a placement

Student views

Rob Peters

"I chose the University of Brighton because I liked the campus on the open day and knew of other people who were at the university, or had been, and recommended it. My first placement was with Tennis in the Park where I coached both children and adults. I also carried out a couple of terms at a local primary school, supporting the classroom teacher in delivering PE.

"Working at a tennis club with a great reputation was a great experience for me and something which helped me get my role with the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) after graduation. The regular presenting and coaching in front of the cohort was really important, as I often have to present to coaches, volunteers, players and referees.

"I am currently a regional tennis services assistant for the LTA’s south-west participation team, where I work on key projects within the region to get more people playing tennis. I have been working with tennis clubs to modernise the way in which they operate, supporting venues with facility funding, writing business plans and providing overall support. I also help organise training courses and work with Southampton University to develop their tennis offer.

"It’s a great course to keep your options open. I was unsure of the type of role I was looking for but this wasn’t a problem, as the course allowed me to apply for a broad range of jobs."

Larette Tritton

“I knew I wanted to have a career in the field of sport coaching and the course description really emphasised the importance of theory and practice. I enjoyed the variety of modules that were offered – I could pick ones that I was really interested in. With this element of freedom, I could create my own path.

“Every teacher had an abundance of knowledge. They were always there to provide support when needed.”

“My second year placement was at Hampden Park Sports Centre, where I coached football and badminton; for my final year, I was at a community exercise circuit class in Angmering. Both placements exposed what I needed to improve on, giving me a holistic insight into the coaching world.

“The course impacted my life massively as it changed my career direction. I discovered a passion for maximising participation in sport and exercise. This is something I had never thought about previously.

“After graduation I worked for Freedom Leisure as a sales and marketing assistant. I followed up enquiries with a motivational call, booked appointments, carried out needs analysis, conducted tours and was involved with marketing strategies and plans.

“I now work for Sussex County Football Association as a Football Development Administrator. I look to promote and develop the game, supporting the FA National Game Strategy, setting up and booking people onto coaching courses, offering advice on the coaching pathway, and liaising with Sports Councils, NGBs and key partners.

“The course positively challenges you – I guarantee you will grow and reach new heights academically.”
