The primary way of delivering this course is on campus.
On campus teaching includes a combination of lectures, small group seminars, workshops, guest lectures and one to one discussions with your tutor. On this course we also deliver industry relevant methods which include consultation practical based sessions that can be used within the Sport, Education and Coaching sectors. Students will be assessed in a number of ways throughout the degree programme, including written assignments, presentations, exams, practical deliveries and case studies/practical consultations.
Contact time for students is over 2 days per week for the full-time route and 1 day per week for the part time route. This allows students to obtain work experience in the sector throughout the other days as well as conduct independent learning and assessment work. This also allows students to manage work and family commitments they may have during the course.
Students will receive approximately 8 hours of teaching time per week throughout the full-time course, depending on the modules being taken. Additional one-to-one meetings with tutors will provide further support. Students have the option to contact an additional support team to develop key study skills such as referencing and academic writing style. We have found this to be a very useful aspect of the course, especially for anyone who has had a break in education and is returning to studies, however the service is available for all students who attend the course.
Entry requirements would usually be one of the following:
We welcome applications from people of any age who might not meet the standard entry criteria, but we would expect to see evidence of continuing academic and/or professional development and a capacity to pursue the course successfully.
This course is particularly relevant to people already working in, or looking to develop a career within the Sport, Education and Coaching sectors, including sports coaches/practitioners who would like to strengthen their portfolio with an academic background.
This course provides a range of skills and competencies relevant across a variety of different professions. People who have completed this course have gone on to work in areas including teaching PE (primary, secondary and SEND school), practitioner work (such as strength and conditioning coaches, sports psychologists and performance analysts), as well as returning to higher education to lecture. Some of these opportunities have been developed from work experience provided on the course such as working with the Doncaster Rovers, Doncaster Belles, Doncaster Knights, Doncaster Dons and working within schools/colleges and sports coaching companies.
If you wish to continue studying beyond this course, it will provide you with a strong academic basis to do so. Course progression routes could include studying at masters’ level and also teaching qualifications such as PGCE for those wanting to teach their specialist subject.
