Sports Studies

Assessment

The qualifications are assessed through external examinations, with some units being assessed through internal assignments. There are also tasks which are pre-issued case studies that pupils have a week or two to prepare for, prior to presenting a final written submission in a controlled environment based upon a real-life scenario. Students completing the two-year programme have gone onto university to study courses such as sports science, sports coaching and sports rehabilitation. Possible careers and degree options include sports journalism, sports science, strength and conditioning, sports development, physiotherapy, sports coaching, sport and business, fitness training, sports marketing, sports therapy and PE teaching.
