Sport and Fitness (Top-up)

Course structure

In addition to the major Applied and Integrated Vocational Studies module, students can choose from a range of options allowing them to specialise in an area of personal interest or to keep a wide breadth of study. Options cover areas such as sport and exercise physiology, psychology, nutrition, biomechanical analysis, coaching and sport development.

An extended work placement enables students to build practical experience whilst applying their knowledge in relevant settings. Examples of previous placements include Reed Health and Fitness Club, Downs Hotel Football Club, Bracknell Forest Schools Sports Partnership, Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Leisure Centre.
