Renowned for our provision of high-quality teaching, your learning will
include online lectures, seminars and activities, as well as independent study.
Learning will be largely online with 5-7
contact days per year, where you
will be required to visit Loughborough College. During these contact days you
will be able to put theory into practice, by utilising our sports science
laboratories and practical facilities, where you will learn to develop your
coaching techniques under the guidance of our expert staff.
Assessments include a range of essays, projects, presentations and reports.
Such diversity will allow you to experience various modes of academic and
professional practice, developing your abilities and refining your skills in
preparation for your next steps. We have an excellent support
system in
place, where tutors will work closely with you both remotely and during
contact
days throughout the duration of your programme. They will support
your development and
track your academic progress to ensure that you achieve
your best.
