Course summary
The MSc in Sport Coaching positions sport coaching as a political, pedagogical, and sociocultural endeavour. Its aim is to produce reflexive and ethical sports coaching scholars who critically position themselves in historically and culturally constituted coaching discourses and practices. In doing so, the MSc in Sport Coaching provides a unique opportunity for the development of imaginative action and thinking to support personal and professional progression. Our programme is based upon contemporary leading-edge research knowledge, and mainly taught by research-active academic staff with relevant coaching experience. The curriculum emphasis on a sociocultural and pedagogic approach to sports coaching is consistent with staff expertise, which has been commended by both external advisers and students.
