Sport Coaching (with Foundation Year)

Our Sport Coaching foundation year helps you start your journey in sports coaching. This foundation year is perfect if you’re excited about a career in sports, but don’t have the qualifications for a degree. It gives you the essential skills and knowledge to move onto a degree.

The foundation year introduces you to different parts of sport, from coaching to health and fitness. This programme is for people who want to help others achieve their best through sport and fitness.

You’ll learn how sport impacts people’s health and performance, both as individuals and in groups. You’ll learn about the physical, mental, and technical parts of coaching. You will also gain the skills to lead and manage groups in community and elite sports.

The foundation year will also help you develop the academic skills you need to study at degree level. With smaller classes and lots of support, you'll be able to feel confident when you move to the full degree.

Upon successful completion of the foundation year, you’ll move onto the degree. Here, you can choose to specialise in areas like performance analysis, talent development, or health coaching. You can also choose to study abroad or complete a year in industry.
