Whether you’re coaching Olympic athletes, grassroots teams or talented young players, we’ll help you take your career to the next level. Our MSc in Sport Coaching brings together our wide range of teaching expertise, innovative and internationally important research and professional connections.
The flexible part-time course is suitable for active and aspiring coaches, as well as PE teachers and further education tutors, who are affiliated with any sport around the world. You put the theory into practice in your own day-to-day job.
And as it’s delivered entirely online, you can fit studying round your work commitments and at a time that suits you. We use podcasts, blogs, class discussion boards, presentations, drop-ins and other interactive sessions so you can share your experiences and ideas.
While on the course, you have opportunities to collaborate and engage with key coaching networks, such as UK Coaching, and academics from across the world. There will also be guest lectures and a brokering service to link you with sport organisations for research projects. On the podcasts, you’ll hear from elite-level sports professionals, such as people from the Premier League.
