Placements are a fundamental and popular element of the BSc Sport Coaching Science.

At Level 6, students taken the 40 credit ‘The expert sport coach’, which requires them to spend 60 hours on placement. Both run long and thin, across two semesters.

Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 restrictions, few placements have been available this academic year.

‘It’s so much easier to be there for our students’: enhancing engagement and support by using MS Bookings in Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences
