Physical Education

This degree is the flexible approach to a future in PE teaching at either primary or secondary level. The course is closely aligned with our BEd (Hons) Secondary Education with Physical Education course, so you’ll enjoy much of the same content during your studies. However, the entry requirements to this three-year course are not quite so demanding. This course is the ideal route to School Direct or PGCE courses in PE. Through this physical education degree, students are able to experience a blend of theoretical study, practical application and school-based placements. This healthy combination helps students perfect their understanding of and approach to teaching as a whole. The varied taught course combines practical small group workshops, lectures and seminars and work placements. Assessments will include coursework, examination, practical performance, presentations, coursework and teaching. This blend allows students to demonstrate their skills and abilities in various ways, showing
their individual strengths.
