MSc Sport Coaching

About this course

Develop as a coach and learn how to analyse and critically reflect on your personal practice, providing the skills to coach within participation or elite environments.

The curriculum is informed by the internationally recognised research of the teaching staff whose wide range of interests complement their personal and professional experiences in sport coaching. Our staff have not only conducted research in sports coaching but can also share their own experiences from working in elite/participation sport.

The course offers coaches a range of exciting learning experiences which include; talks from expert external guest speakers in the field, access to ‘master-class’ workshops from highly experienced coaches, the opportunity to join our monthly coaching research seminar series, the possibility to gain voluntary experience at a local sports organisation and access to a range of other coaching related ‘CPD’ activities.

The programme has also been awarded the UK Coaching Certificate (UKCC) Level 4 by UK Coaching. As a result, it will improve your analytical, critical reflection and problem-solving skills as well as enabling you to effectively manage the coaching process. This will enable graduates of the programme to deliver the best available, athlete centred coaching environments for recreational, development and performance athletes.
