Overview
Sports Coaching MSc sits in a competitive part of the UK market, which works in your favour once you know which departments to aim at. It is a 1 year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.
Teaching in Sports Coaching is practical in style, with placement work built into most departments. We currently work with 40 universities on this course across 27 cities.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £17.000 to £35.500 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.
The fastest way to narrow this down is to send us your grades and English score. We will come back with a shortlist rather than a brochure.
