Course summary

The BSc (Hons) Sport, Physical Education and Health degree programme at Cardiff Met provides a practically based course focusing on current and future developments in the sector. The degree in Sport, PE and Health values and challenges students within a supportive learning environment and provides opportunities to access, understand and apply research in the enhancement of innovative practice and to understand the future role of physical educators. The Sport and PE and Health degree provides access to a research-informed contemporary curriculum that recognises the contribution sport plays within physical education in the development of lifelong health and wellbeing through activity. Students will be able to apply their theoretical knowledge using our world-class on-site facilities, or through work-based learning; whether that be on a placement or through our Open Campus initiative. The degree is delivered and managed by academics with a wealth of research, innovation and applied experience. It has been designed in an inspiring and progressive way, in which the curriculum becomes more focused and specialised across the three years of study. Alongside the degree students have the opportunity to complete professionally recognised qualifications and engage with further diverse learning experiences, all of which enhance and enrich the time students have with us at Cardiff Met. The degree programme encourages students to embrace all the opportunities that are available to them to develop academically, personally, and professionally. Cardiff Met also offers a foundation year for those who aspire to enrol on a Sport based honours degree, who do not have the requirements to start at Year 1. The foundation year will run at the Llandaff campus within the School of Management, and the subsequent years will be based at the Cyncoed campus within the School of Sport and Health Sciences.
