Sport, Coaching and Physical Education BSc (Hons)

Oxford Brookes University's Sport, Coaching and Physical Education BSc (Hons) is designed for students seeking to develop expertise across coaching, teaching, and physical education in settings ranging from schools and community clubs to elite sport organisations. The programme builds coaching practice alongside theoretical grounding in sport psychology, sociology, human movement, and fitness assessment. Students undertake work placements and real-life projects throughout all three years, developing the practical and analytical skills needed for careers in coaching, teaching, and sport development.

Teaching takes place face-to-face at the Headington campus in Oxford, with around ten hours of contact time per week. The full-time programme runs over three years, with a part-time route available for up to six years. The course is accredited by the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA) and is delivered by the School of Sport, Nutrition and Allied Health Professions, whose staff work actively as PE teachers, coaches, and sport psychologists.
