About the Course

You will study four main areas of physical education including: physiological aspects, psychological aspects, biomechanics and socio-cultural aspects of sport. You will also work on one physical activity which can be performance-orientated or coaching. A mark will be awarded for your performance and your oral analysis of a sports person’s performance in that sport. Classes are both practical and theory-based. Assessment takes place at the end of the two years through both written examination (70%) and coursework/practical performance (30%).

Future Prospects

This course provides excellent preparation for those students who wish to follow a career in sports science, physiotherapy or sports teaching.
