Degree Pathways:
Our degree pathways are designed in a way which is student-centered as they are created to mix online and face-to-face learning, known as ‘blended learning’. We offer football coaching and a sports science pathway. Our football coaching pathway is in partnership with the University of South Wales and our sports science pathway is in partnership with Loughborough College. Both courses are taught at the famous Hillsborough Stadium and have access to the new state-of-the-art community facility which is located a 10 minutes’ walk away from the stadium. Content is delivered by qualified members of staff who are placed in areas which suit their strengths to help the students develop their knowledge in the best way possible to achieve the best grades they can. Students will be expected to attend lectures for 2-3 days a week with a mix of practical and theory-based learning being applied.
