Gain a thorough understanding of physical education in schools and wider communities with our new Physical Education and School Sport course. We'll develop your teaching, learning and leadership skills, enabling you to become a highly employable expert on physical education and school sport.
This degree encompasses the contemporary place and role of school-based physical education, activity, and health and sport. Physical education continues to be an important part of Government agendas, so with this in mind, you'll learn relevant and up-to-date techniques and information.
Linked and mapped to the national curriculum for physical education, you'll be taught the physical activities and up-to-date information that teachers within this sector require. This course will prepare you to apply for PGCE Physical Education courses in Secondary and Primary Education.
It won’t just be about sport, though; you'll be looking at different aspects of health and people at opposite ends of the health spectrum. It's a chance for you to gain the knowledge and skills needed to negotiate different challenges.
To help build these skills, you'll go on placements, working face-to-face and getting first-hand experience, something which will enhance your future employability.
Mapped to the course are additional awards, where you can support teachers in a range of extra-curricular opportunities, including working with school sports teams. All of our physical education and sport courses will provide additional, employability-based qualifications at the same time as your course, enhancing your subject knowledge and giving you valuable hands-on experience.
By taking this course, you’ll be studying at the brand new home for the School of Health Sciences, which will contain a state-of-the-art laboratory, sports therapy rooms, cutting-edge resources and a designated sports area.
