Sport Coaching BSc(Hons)

This course will provide you with the opportunity to develop a career in many areas of sport, for example:

• professional coaching in government body programmes 
• social development and community programmes
• PE teaching (following a PGCE) and associated roles within PE and school sport
• sport, exercise and health consultancy and support
• personal training/life coaching
• many other areas dependent on a degree-level qualification (eg nutrition, performance analysis and disability sport).

You can also apply to study for a one-year PGCE to gain qualified teacher status (QTS).

Your fees

The fees listed here are for full-time courses beginning in the academic year 2017–18. Tuition fees are payable for each year that you study with us.

Where UK/EU students are subject to regulated fees, the annual fee increase cannot exceed the UK government’s maximum regulated tuition fee limit set for the relevant year. For all other students, ie those not subject to regulated fees, tuition fees are subject to a maximum annual increase of the higher of 5% or RPI.

You can find out more about our fees in the university's student contract and tuition fee policy (pdf).

The tuition fee you have to pay depends on a number of factors including the kind of course you take, and whether you study full- or part-time. If you are studying part-time you will normally be charged on a pro rata basis depending on the number of modules you take.

What's included in the fee?

When costs such as health or DBS checks, or use of specialist materials are incurred as a mandatory requirement of the course they are included in your tuition fee.

You may incur additional costs depending on the optional modules or activities you choose. The cost of optional activities is not included in your tuition fee and you will need to meet this cost in addition to your fees. Before you apply check with the school that provides your course using the contact details in the Find out more tab (at the end of this page) for advice about what is included and what optional costs you could face so you can budget accordingly.

See our finance pages for advice about funding and scholarships as well as further information about fees and advice on international and island fee-paying status.

Unistats and key information sets

Unistats is an organisation that collects specific data about university courses in the UK which enables you to compare information that is important in your decision-making when choosing a university. All universities publish Unistats data on their online course pages.

Wherever we can we have provided extra information here to help put the data into context so that it is as useful as possible when you are making decisions.

The diversity of your learning may be further extended by your choice of modules which involve practical field trips, expeditions and ski trips, or certain theory modules such as environmental physiology.

Due to the varied module choices, you can opt towards or away from certain types of assessment after year one. The only compulsory exams are in year 1, and do not count towards your degree classification.

Placement is flexible and is managed on a case-by-case basis depending on the type of placement you are keen to pursue. Years 2 and 3 are almost always away from the University in a context of your choosing. We do supply placement opportunities from our list of quality assured placement providers but you can organise your own, if you wish.
