Reviews
Course programme
Based at our Eastbourne campus, Physical Education thoroughly prepares you to teach the National Curriculum for Physical Education (NCPE).
Throughout the programme you will have regular opportunities to work directly with children in schools, in the community, and using the university's own specialist facilities.
The course is taught at the university's Chelsea School which has an excellent national and international reputation for physical education and dance.
Professional accreditation
The course leads to the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
Course structure
Years 1 and 2 are spent developing learning and teaching skills on campus, with a two-week secondary school placement towards the end.
Year 3 starts with a 15-week placement, followed by university-based study which continues until the middle of year 4. Students then return to the school environment for a final 15 weeks at the end of the course.
While it is possible to pursue the university-based components in part-time mode, placement has to be taken full-time.
Areas of study
Year 1 focuses on six main activities - athletics, dance, gymnastics, swimming, games and outdoor adventurous activities.
In year 2 you will look at the role of these activities in secondary schools and will also study behaviour management, assessment and examinations in PE.
Years 3 and 4 include two major school placements where you will work with experienced PE teachers and receive support from course tutors who remain in regular contact throughout.
There is a wide range of extra qualifications and extra activities that you can undertake during your course. These include a rugby referee qualification, experience of organising sports competitions and the opportunity to perform and teach overseas with Kick-start and Fidget dance companies. There is also a water sports module and ski trips in year 1 and year 3 where students can develop their performance in skiing and snowboarding.
