Description
The BA Physical Education degree aims to provide an honours level, multi-disciplinary, applied degree in physical education which integrates theoretical and practical knowledge relevant to employment opportunities.
There is a strong emphasis on the individual as facilitator, through teaching that allows students to take ownership of their own development. This enables individuals to enhance their own and others experience of physical education. The course places value on a cross-disciplinary approach, exploring the context and application of various key disciplines, from the physiological through to the sociological.
The programme draws on contemporary research and other relevant educational literature, along with giving students the chance to experience a range of vocational settings. These include schools, health and fitness industries and the youth and voluntary sectors.
Students will have opportunities to pursue a range of nationally accredited coaching and officiating awards alongside the formal requirements of the course.
Sportspark
The University's Sportspark is one of the finest sports complexes in Britain, boasting international standard facilities. You will spend much of your time in the Sportspark working in seminar groups within the sporting environment to allow you to put into practice the theory on site. Further details about the compulsory modules in Year 1 are also available from the Course Profile tab.
Teaching, Assessment and Feedback
The degree balances a compulsory core with optional modules giving scope for students to tailor their degree programme to their own personal and/or future employment interests. Extensive independent study is also a key element of the course.
The academic year consists of two 12-week semesters, followed by a six-week examination period. In each semester, you will typically take three modules. A module structure usually consists of practical workshops, seminars and/or lectures. Small group working ensures that students can interact with lecturers and address any problems which may arise.
Students benefit from a high staff/student ratio with support provided by experienced staff in a School of Education renowned for its excellence in teaching and research.
Key skills learning is integrated into our undergraduate degree to ensure that along with subject knowledge, students gain transferable skills valued by employers, such as teamwork, communication, presentation and problem-solving, thus enhancing your self-confidence and employability.
Career Opportunities
There are a range of employment opportunities and career pathways open to graduates. The School of Education and Lifelong Learning works closely with the University Careers Centre and, together with the School's Academic Careers Adviser, we will help students to choose their career path and develop their employability skills.
Placement opportunities allow students to demonstrate how a practical placement and academic study inform one another.
