Sports psychologists work to help both team and individual sports men and women to fine tune their physical and mental capacities to maximise performance at critical times.
Read moreSport and Exercise Science
At Winchester, sport and exercise science isn't a footnote to a physical education degree. It's a discipline pursued with the same rigour as medicine, the same ambition as engineering, and the same human depth as psychology. Our curriculum is built around one belief: the most transformative practitioners understand both the data and the person behind it.
That belief shapes everything. How we timetable. How we teach. How small we keep our lab groups. You won't spend your first year watching. You'll spend it doing, alongside staff who know your name and a cohort close enough to become your professional community for life.

The process of coaching and teaching sport is highly complex. Sport coaches and physical education teachers require a deep understanding of numerous topics, which include skill acquisition, communication, leadership, teamwork, and technology. The sport industry is ever evolving, and our Sport Coaching and Physical Education course supports students to become expert practitioners who explore the science and art of coaching and teaching.

"We look at how to improve athletes’ ability in terms of training, in terms of performance and we also look at things like rehabilitation. We look at things like anatomy and how to improve the physiology, for example if a cyclist wanted to train and they wanted to be better, we would look at how we can improve that."
