Course summary
You can’t become a great coach without doing it for real. At NTU, we’ll give you lots of opportunities to do just that. Thanks to our fantastic links with NTU sports clubs, junior teams and local sport organisations, you’ll get to experience coaching at every level. You’ll be exploring why coaching is as important for professional sport as it is at grassroots level; and you will develop an understanding of what makes an effective coach. This will all be backed up with developing your core knowledge of sport science. The course provides opportunities to get involved in a research and consultancy project, all benefiting from our strong connections with a host of leading sport and leisure organisations. These include Nottingham Rugby Club, England Hockey and Nottingham Forest Football Club. This degree combines study of the rapidly expanding field of sport and exercise science, along with the more vocational area of coaching. You will approach coaching using scientific, evidence-based techniques. This will enable you to apply scientific sports principles to improve sports performance while developing vocational expertise. Chartered institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA) You’ll have the opportunity to take your CIMSPA Gym Instructor and Personal Trainer qualification alongside your degree. By becoming part of CIMSPA, which is the largest community of qualified exercise professionals, you not only boost your graduate employability but also create a foundation for ongoing career growth. It's a fantastic way to start your journey in the world of sport science and fitness. Sport and Wellbeing Academy Each year a number of our Sport Science students get the chance to work in our Sport and Wellbeing Academy. This exciting opportunity allows you to apply some of the theory you've learned in a real-world environment and develop the skills needed for working in industry. Working alongside our experienced Senior Exercise Practitioners you'll have the opportunity to deliver exercise programmes to help improve the health and wellbeing of the local community. You can also work with local schools to implement 'The Daily Mile' which improves the fitness and concentration of their pupils. NTU's sports teams are currently in the top ten in the BUCS league (British Universities and Colleges Sport). Our aim is to reach the top and working in the Academy gives you the opportunity to work with our teams on their training, performance and nutrition to make this dream a reality.
