Foundation Year in Sport
Course overview
This one-year foundation course in sports at Middlesex University is an entry route into Sport and Exercise Science, Sport Rehabilitation, or Coaching degrees. It helps students who do not yet meet the entry requirements to prepare for degree-level study. Key content includes scientific methods in sport, anatomy and physiology, mathematics, communication skills, and basic principles of exercise and sport. After successful completion, students advance into a three-year sports degree.
The programme runs full-time for one year at the Hendon campus. Teaching combines workshop sessions, practical work, group projects, and the use of online materials. Students are taught using lectures, seminars, workshops, tutorials, labs, guided research, and group work. Students are assessed using written assignments, tests, presentations, group tasks, and practical exams. Lecturers give feedback on students’ work regularly to help them progress.
