Our extended physical education and sport degree starts with a foundation year to prepare you for degree-level study. Following this, you study the same modules as our three-year course.
The main disciplines include sport psychology, sport and exercise physiology, sociology of sport, and sport policy and development. You'll explore the practical areas of the national curriculum for PE, including athletics, dance, games, gymnastics, outdoor and adventurous activities, and swimming.
This degree develops your contemporary knowledge and understanding of PE and sport, as well as relevant skills for a range of sport-related careers. The course is taught at Avery Hill Campus, home to our extensive sports facilities and most of our student sports activities.
