Course Overview

As a graduate of this programme you’ll be able to use research to confidently critique practice in physical education and youth sport, enhancing practice.

Throughout the course, you’ll develop an in-depth knowledge of teaching and learning in the PE and school sport environment, as well as critically analyzing relevant youth sport and education policies that shape current practice.

You’ll be encouraged to reflect and consider the social, cultural, and ethical issues that impact policy and practice within physical education. Drawing on evidence from the research you’ll be able to shape practice and develop strategies to engage young people in new and innovative ways.

As a master's student, you’ll also study research methods and think about ways you can evaluate your own professional practice, as well as the practice of others. You will develop techniques to ‘research’ pupils or young people ensuring they have a voice.

The curriculum is underpinned by research-informed teaching and the team is research active, having worked with young people in physical education roles and coaching. You’ll be supported to synthesize information from a range of sources, becoming an evidence-informed practitioner.

During the course you’ll work on scenarios and case studies to ensure an engaging curriculum, this will aid your understanding of the context in which physical education, youth, and school sport are delivered.
