About Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Sport Psychology and Coaching (C640)
The Sport Psychology and Coaching BSc (Hons) degree will introduce students to the wide-ranging field of sports science and its relevance to competitive, community and participation levels of sport. They will explore how coaching and teaching involves varying skill sets across different sports and how they can be applied in varying environments. Students will also gain essential knowledge in areas including sport psychology, human movement, the social impact of sport and the value of applying sports development to an individual’s lifelong development.
This undergraduate course will teach students how to encourage, develop and progress other people’s sporting performance or participation. The coaching skills they will develop will be equally applicable at both an elite performance and community level.
Increasingly, schools are out-sourcing sports delivery to coaches, and more sports practitioners are entering teaching through coaching. It is in these environments that graduates can help encourage young people who have never taken part in sport and exercise to improve their health and fitness. This program help develop coaching and teaching skills, providing access to a sports hall the size of six badminton courts and extensively-equipped sports science labs. The teaching staff includes those with a wide range of coaching knowledge and qualifications up to international and world championship levels. All modules on the course are equally well-supported by up-to-date facilities.
Students will study a variety of subjects in-depth. There’s sport psychology and its exploration of how the mind impacts on both sporting performance and participation. Exercise physiology will introduce students to changes the body experiences as a result of physical activity, environmental stress and exercise. Biomechanics analyses the mechanics of human movement, while the sociology of sport will develop your understanding of the socio-cultural issues that can define and legitimise a particular sport.
There will be plenty of equipment for you to use as an aid to a student's studies. Exercise physiology equipment includes a climate chamber and blood analysers, while biomechanics equipment includes Watt bikes and Kistler force platforms. For a more complete list of the equipment that will be available to you, see the equipment section below.
