This programme aims to support the continuing professional development of sports coaches and those working in closely related fields. With three awards available, we look to offer a flexible programme of professional development.
Core modules focus on the development of professional practice and knowledge for both coaches and coach tutor/educators. More specialist modules in the areas of psychology, physiology and biomechanics, as well as practitioner research and individual projects, are offered for the full Masters degree. A coaching placement opportunity is offered on the full-time programme.
The programme is most suitable for experienced coaches from a development or performance domain, or those who work in coach education. Teachers who are coaching within a school framework and other candidates with recent and relevant coaching experience will also be considered.
