Sports Coaching and Performance Science

Kick-off a career in a range of sporting environments by learning to maximise training and performance.

We’ve recently invested £16 million in our sports infrastructure, so you’ll have access to state-of-the art facilities on campus, while our course also focuses on giving you the hands-on, practical experience needed to coach people of all ages and abilities – from grassroots to elite sports.

We have strong links with local authority development units and other organisations offering work experience opportunities, coaching education courses and workshops to further enhance your studies.

Why study at Hull?

• State-of-the-art facilities: Put the theory into practice in our best-in-class sports facilities and use industry-standard software in our Performance Analysis Suite. • Scholarship programme: If you compete in sport at a regional, national or international level, you might be eligible for a scholarship through our Talented Athlete Programme (TAP). • Career ready: Network with some of the best-known employers in the industry at our annual Student Thesis Conference.

Where could this take me?

The sound theoretical knowledge and practical experience you’ll develop on this course will set you up with the transferable skills to work with players and teams of all abilities.

Our degree offers a strong foundation for those interested in working with professional athletes to improve their performance, but you could also go into primary and secondary teaching, strength and conditioning, performance analysis and sports development.

You’ll get the chance to speak with potential employers at our annual Student Thesis Conference, as well as our careers team, to figure out which route is right for you.
