BSc Sports Coaching
Course overview
The BSc Sports Coaching with Foundation Year at Coventry University is a programme that develops students’ skills to train players in different sports. It also includes a foundation year, where students learn introductory topics that help them understand the course once they enter the main degree.
In this programme, students understand the impact of physical activity and also the methods used to handle professional teams, academies, and sporting organisations. The degree is accredited by the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA). It also offers modules like Health and Disease and the Psychology of Learning and Development.
In addition, students develop soft skills to work effectively with professional teams and academies. The placement year helps students find what they are passionate about, gain work-ready skills for their careers, and this happens between their second and final year of study.
Learning is through practical sessions, field visits, work placements, lectures, and seminars. Assessment methods include practical reports, oral presentations, assignments, reports, examinations, and a final-year project thesis.
