Hear from a tutor and student about studying Sport & Physical Education at Liverpool Hope.
Sport & Physical Education is a multidisciplinary subject delivered in a way that ensures graduates leave the institution with the skills to enable them to find employment. The philosophy of the curriculum is to deliver a skills-based theoretical, practical and applied experience which is underpinned by a foundation in subject knowledge and research skills. With these aims in mind the teaching activities range from traditional lectures, to seminars and tutorials supported by practical sessions both on the campus and at the University’s Field Centre in Snowdonia National Park, Wales. Students will have the opportunity to explore in detail a wide variety of principles and practices in different sports underpinned by both a theoretical and practical approach. The course will allow students to explore the impact of sport at the individual, team, organisational and wider community, from grass roots through to the elite level.
Sport & Physical Education at Liverpool Hope focuses on core disciplines in the field. These include, but are not limited to: applied and theoretical approaches to sport psychology, performance and technique, sport analysis, sport development, sociology and history and coaching science and development. Within all disciplines the students approach the effect of sport, physical education and activity on individuals and society as a whole, emphasising the ethical issues relating to competition, participation and the issue of health and well-being.
