Summary

Do you strive to be a top-level coach? Do you want to challenge current coaching practice and help people achieve their full potential? Can you inspire confidence and self-belief through coaching? Our MSc Coaching Science will train you in the practical and theoretical elements of coaching science, and you will explore the broad spectrum of areas that underpin both coaching practise and development.

With our state-of-the-art facilities and science-based approach, you will gain a solid understanding of the applied practical skills, psychology, developmental and advanced practise in coaching. Alongside seminar-based teaching, you will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in our specialist laboratory facilities and on an optional coaching placement. Coaching placements are undertaken with an employer over 8 – 10 weeks, enabling you to develop your coaching delivery and prepare you for employment.

You will study a broad range of topics, including:

  • Masterclasses in coaching

  • Youth athletic development

  • Skill acquisition in coaching

  • Adapted coaching

You will also have the flexibility to study additional modules from other disciplines in order to deepen your understanding of all aspects of coaching science.

This course sits within our School of Sport, Rehabilitation and Exercise Sciences. This provides an exciting opportunity to join a community specifically focused on sport and exercise, allowing us to bring together our internationally recognised research, share knowledge and enhance opportunities for our students.
