Sports Studies

Course summary

You can progress to a Higher Education degree in Sports Science or Sports Studies, which in turn could lead to a PGCE in Teaching. Alternative courses are leisure/recreation management, sports coaching/development or specific vocational training in fitness. Employment within the leisure industry is another option. You should have a passion for all sports and the drive to improve your knowledge further. As the course is varied in terms of the theoretical side, you should also have an interest in science as well as all aspects of current sporting affairs. You need to be well-organised in terms of independent learning and able to meet deadlines.
