BSc (Hons) SPORT PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT

You’ll share your first year on the course with your colleagues on the Sports Coaching and Sport and Exercise Science courses. The beauty of this is that you can keep your options open until the end of your first year in case you want to switch to one of the other courses.

In that first year, you’ll investigate the way in which sport has developed to become the multi-billion pound industry that it is today. You’ll also get to grips with the basics of the human body and how it works by studying human performance, along with sports psychology and essential coaching principles.

In year two, the focus will be on developing your knowledge and skills in relation to being an effective teacher/coach capable of working with a wide range of people. You’ll also be able to take optional modules on anything from physiological and nutritional assessment to examining how to create and implement a specific training programme. It all depends on your own interests.

By year three, you’ll be concentrating on your independent research project and you’ll undertake a work placement. We’ve developed a number of excellent placement opportunities with partners including community providers such as West Ham United, Leyton Orient and activeNewham, as well as a number of primary and secondary schools.
