BSc Sports Coaching

The BSc Sports Coaching at Coventry University provides students with the skills to become instructors across various sports. This course is suitable for students who pay attention to detail, have a passion for imparting knowledge, and are interested in starting a career in coaching. This programme is practical, so students learn outside the classroom, where they gain skills in sports tutorship or consultancy.

The degree is accredited by the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA); its modules offer a combination of theory and practice in sports coaching, covering areas such as sports science, performance analysis, and practical coaching. Students will gain relational skills to handle professional teams and academies, while maximising their training and performance. Graduates may also work as coaches, sport facilitators, fitness instructors, or do well as pundits.

Learning is through practical sessions, field visits, work placements, lectures, and seminars. Assessment methods include written practical reports, oral presentations, assignments, reports, examinations, and a final-year project thesis.
