2. Enable students to closely examine the art and science of coaching, focusing on both the application of sport science disciplines in the coaching context and the athlete-coach interaction.
3. Enable students to address theory and principles governing coaching practice and includes practical coaching opportunities together with a chance for individuals to reflect upon and modify their own coaching behaviour.
4. Provide students with an academically and vocationally relevant curriculum designed to stimulate students to become active learners, self-reflectors, and develop effective evaluative skills with the ability to question existing practices in sports coaching allowing them to acquire a range of transferable skills that will equip them for employment, enterprise or further study.
5. Allow students to evaluate and modify their own behaviour and that of performers in a range of activities so that they can fully appreciate the role of the professional coach and understand the qualities required to coach effectively developing their ability to communicate ideas to a range of audiences using a variety of media.
Assessment
The programme incorporates a wide variety of assessment methods enabling the ways in which student achievement is measured and evaluated to be appropriate to the learning outcomes of each module. Appropriate techniques are chosen to fit the subject and context for the students involved. The range of assessment methods includes: porfolios, essays and assignments, oral presentations, article reviews, coaching plans, poster presentation, project reports, literature reviews, viva interview, interview and self reflection, group assessments and dissertation. Student achievement is assessed through reference to a set of generic grade descriptors (provided to students via a student handbook) with specific marking criteria identified within each module outline.
