Overview

Football Coaching and Performance is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a one year foundation course, the year before an undergraduate degree begins.

Teaching in Sport and Exercise Sciences covers testing and data analysis, which is where most graduate roles now sit.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
