Overview

The Foundation Degree Sport and Exercise course will focus on developing knowledge of the field (content) whilst providing students with opportunities to apply their learning in practical contexts (experience) and enhancing their learning through problem solving approaches (challenging and authentic tasks).

The learning approaches will take into account the diverse backgrounds of students, nurturing them through levels four & five whilst developing them into independent learners and critical divergent thinkers, ready for employment or undergraduate study (Inclusive environment, activities linked to student experience).

This programme is delivered face-to-face, with some virtual learning material.

South West College is approved by The Open University as an appropriate organisation to offer higher education programmes leading to Open University validated awards.
