The degree is designed to meet the knowledge and standards required to become a UKSCA Accredited Strength & Conditioning Coach (ASCC) through experiential learning on the professional enquiry placement module and key core modules such as practical applications to performance training, strength and rehabilitation science and effective coaching.
The University of Brighton’s sport and exercise laboratories are accredited by the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES). There are also extensive fitness and sport facilities on campus which include a teaching and research gym.
The course leader, Flo Pietzsch, was a strength and conditioning coach with the Lawn Tennis Association and at the English Institute of Sport. He is an accredited member of UKSCA and has advised and worked with UKSCA on curriculum development on their recent coaching science content.
Careers
The degree is designed to facilitate accreditation with the UK Strength and Conditioning Association (UKSCA) - many graduates from our programme are now UKSCA Accredited Strength and Conditioning Coaches (ASCC).
Employment prospects for graduates are extremely good.
