UWS’s BSc (Hons) Sport Coaching will help you develop the skills and expertise required to become a professional sports coach.
The BSc (Hons) Sport Coaching emphasises a holistic, scientific understanding of the role, purpose, and practice of sport coaching. Students learn modern coaching practices through evidence-based exploration of physiology, psychology, skill acquisition, performance analysis, and sociology. Using sport-specific and interdisciplinary approaches, students develop essential practical skills combined with theoretical and scientific knowledge allowing them to apply the coaching process in a range of contexts and people groups. It is a four-year, full-time programme, but it can also be offered on a part-time basis in consultation with the programme leader.
