Throughout the course students will participate in one sport with the expectation this is to the highest possible standard consistently over the two years. The practical element is logged and evidenced with recordings as well as a live moderation in the second year. The course prepares students for the further study of Physical Education in Exercise and Sport Science courses, as well as other related subject areas such as: Psychology, Sociology and Biology, Physiotherapy, Coaching and Education.
