BSc (Hons) Sports Coaching and Performance Science

University of HullCottingham Road, Hull, HU6 7RX

Course overview

This course provides an ideal foundation for anyone wanting to begin a career in coaching players and teams to maximise their training and performance, as well as those interested in teaching physical education. With a strong scientific focus throughout the course, you’ll study the theory that underpins performance and practical application, and develop the skills to coach people of all abilities and ages, from grassroots to elite level, and across all sports. You’ll be taught by experts in their field during your time on campus and our links with local authority sports development units (and other organisations) open up opportunities for work experience, coaching education courses, workshops and events as part of your degree.

Plus, thanks to career-boosting opportunities like our annual Student Thesis Conference, and our connections with Hull City, Hull KR and Hull FC (all three clubs have former Hull students working for them), you’ll have opportunities here that you can’t get anywhere else. As well as teaching you the fundamental skills to coach and oversee the development of others, we also invest in your own potential with our Talented Athlete Programme.
