BA (Hons) Physical Education and Sport University of Winchester

Program Description

This exciting, multi-disciplinary degree will prepare you to pursue postgraduate teacher training in physical education, while maintaining a broad view on education, sport and wellbeing. You will be joining a community of scholars of sport and education, where together we stimulate a high degree of independence and resilience. The programme is designed to incorporate both subject-specific knowledge of physical education and sport while allowing a broad educational framework to develop alongside it. There is also an opportunity for you to explore specialised areas of disability, early childhood, politics and much more. You will be taught by leaders in their field using interactive elements or practical activities, and benefit from guest speakers including professionals from industry, alumni, and academic researchers. The University of Winchester is one of the leading providers of sport-related higher education in England and has consistently high levels of student satisfaction. This dynamic course allows you to take advantage of our excellent sport and exercise facilities, which include our own stadium complete with an eight-lane athletics track, a large sports hall on-campus and laboratories kitted out with the latest high-tech analysis equipment. In Year 1, half your modules will cover educational theory and practices in a broad sense, to lay the foundations of more specialised areas of study in the second and third year. The rest of your modules will centre on Sports Coaching, allowing you to gain coaching qualifications, such as Safeguarding, as you complete them.
