Description
With emphasis on lifelong physical activity across the population there is a need for highly educated practitioners with the skills and knowledge to establish and sustain healthy lifestyles in others. The Sport and Physical Education degree will allow you to gain in-depth academic and practical knowledge of sport and physical education, and appreciate its issues and operational contexts. The curriculum becomes progressively more focused and specialised across the three years of the programme.
In addition to the comprehensive theoretical and practical academic framework, you will be encouraged to build a portfolio of UKCC coaching qualifications, work placement learning and experiences during your time at University. Cardiff Met offers on-campus opportunities for you to engage in and has excellent links with Sport Cardiff and surrounding schools and local authorities. You will have access to a wealth of valuable experiential learning opportunities including National Governing Bodies and community sports initiatives.
The Sport and Physical Education degree aims to:
1. Develop intellectual knowledge, understanding and application of the academic disciplines that underpin physical education and youth sport;
2. Evaluate the needs of participants relevant to their age, ability and levels of physical attainment in sport and physical activity;
3. Investigate the concepts and issues that inform physical education and youth sport in the UK and abroad;
4. Prepare you for effective employment or future study by developing graduate attributes including problem solving, inter-personal skills, global citizenship (diversity & sustainability), flexibility and adaptability (life-long learning), effective communication and creativity & innovation.
