Course Overview

Our dynamic Sports courses are designed around three specific areas - Physical Education, Sports Coaching, and Sports Development. As your course progresses, you can choose to specialize in a particular area, giving you as much freedom as possible to explore your interests.

Alongside these three areas, you can expect to cover contemporary themes that develop from year to year. You’ll explore the effects of exercise on the body, looking at various physical activities in different social groups – from high-level sports performers to young children. As you’d expect, this course also contains a great deal of hands-on experience, where you’ll learn how to use your skills to inspire others to be more active and to excel at sports and exercise.

You’ll be researching and interrogating recent issues, looking at conflicting ideas and opinions on this undergraduate degree, and being encouraged to hone your coaching, leadership, and teaching skills through practical exercises, field trips, laboratory work, and placement opportunities. In Sports, you should experience intellectual excitement and enjoyment, knowledge and practical skills relevant to your chosen career, and as much freedom as possible to explore your personal interests.

Here at BGU in Lincoln, employability is central to our courses, so we’ll support you in finding a placement tailored to your career aspirations for the future. You’ll also have the chance to gain coaching qualifications and to volunteer in sports across the county – our links with local sports partnerships and governing bodies provide unique work and career opportunities that you won’t find anywhere else.

If you are passionate and committed to the sport, this course is for you. Join us to research and debate recent and topical developments and conflicting values and ideas about sports and physical education.

We want students who ask questions and discuss ideas so that they develop confidence in solving problems and thinking mathematically. We encourage you to understand and enjoy mathematics rather than memorize rules and procedures. We teach mathematics mainly through group workshops and offer a learning experience that differs significantly from more prominent universities.

Mathematics at BGU will develop your mathematical and practical skills and understanding of teaching, learning, and education; it will also allow you to share your enthusiasm to inspire others. With the support of dedicated and professional staff, you will study numerous aspects of both pure and applied mathematics and, in doing so, gain a good overall appreciation for the subject. We’ll help you develop a detailed knowledge and deep conceptual understanding of various mathematical topics, including complex numbers, matrices, algebraic techniques, algorithmic methods, probability, and calculus. You’ll also learn to apply your work to practical situations, using appropriate mathematical tools and technology to aid real-life problem-solving.

You can be sure you’ll receive all the support you need. We have experienced and dedicated staff who are passionate about mathematics and will work extremely hard to transmit that enthusiasm to you. This course is ideal if you take satisfaction from solving problems and would love to pass on your willingness to others.
