Sports Coaching & Performance (Foundation Entry)

Foundation Entry degree courses are ideal if you’ve got the ability to study for a degree, but don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to directly join an honours programme. It’s a great stepping stone to a full degree.

We’ve shaped a degree to give you the skills, experiences and networks that can thrust you to the forefront of coaching practice. It’s a programme rooted in applied practice – ensuring that you have plenty of opportunities to turn academic theory into action, with vocational experiences in the real world of professional and amateur sport.

With a range of option modules, you can tailor your degree to your passions, strengths and career goals. By focusing on all areas of athlete development, you can create a path into performance analysis, talent development and elite environments. You’ll gain professional body qualifications throughout, so you’ll be ready for a professional career when you graduate.

Whatever direction you take, you’ll cover various topics that aid player development and underpin performance coaching. Then, in your final year, you’ll undertake an independent project – your chance to develop your specialist area of knowledge that will set you apart.
