BSc (Hons) Sport Coaching

Cardiff Metropolitan University's BSc (Hons) Sport Coaching is a three-year undergraduate degree — extendable to four years with an optional foundation year — designed for students who want to develop practical coaching skills alongside a critical understanding of coaching theory, ethics, and relationships. Delivered at Cardiff Met's Cardiff campus, the programme suits those interested in performance, community, participation, schools, or health and well-being contexts, and allows students to personalise their studies through optional modules in areas such as strength and conditioning, sport science data, and nutrition.

Teaching is classroom-based, combining lectures, seminars, workshops, and practical sessions with real-world placements embedded across all three years. Cardiff Metropolitan University delivers the degree, with staff described as having extensive coaching and research experience. Students have the opportunity to gain industry-recognised coaching qualifications alongside their degree, graduating with a BSc (Hons) award. The programme is taught in English, with select modules also available through the medium of Welsh.
