About this course

We’re flexible with our sports courses at the University of East London. So, in your first year, you’ll be studying the same subjects as your contemporaries on the Sport, PE and Development, and Sport and Exercise Science courses. This gives you the opportunity to switch courses at the end of the year should you wish.

In that first year, you’ll be introduced to the fundamentals of human performance as well as the skills needed for sport and exercise. You’ll also gain an understanding of sports development.

Years two and three concentrate on more specific areas, such as sports psychology and development and performance analysis. You’ll also look at areas such as disability sport and youth inclusion in sport.

You’ll be introduced to various research methods in preparation for your third-year project, which will be on a subject of specific interest to you. For instance, one of our students shadowed a leading coach and examined the role that natural instinct and gut feeling can still play amid today’s highly structured, technical coaching.

Must include passes at A2 in at least 1 subject
Extended Diploma or Diploma
Diploma with 24 points including a minimum of 15 points at Higher Level
