We have a range of exciting modules that will provide you with a robust underpinning knowledge of teaching and coaching. You will be introduced to relevant theories and this will be applied in practice. We adopt a 'hands on' approach to learning so you will be planning and delivering high quality physical sessions to your peers and also to pupils. As you are working with children and adolescent learners throughout your degree programme you will need to have a current DBS. If this is not completed prior to starting your programme we will guide you to do so soon after. You will also be developing the skills required to optimise your potential whilst studying for your Degree with us. This will involve how to put together an impressive presentation, how to read and analyse research papers as well as how to gain high marks in written work.
