Overview

Sports Coaching is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. 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.
