Sport - Return to Study

Our fast-track Return to Study entry programme is delivered part-time over six weeks. The course prepares you to apply for a relevant degree programme starting in September 2024.

We are passionate about making sure education is accessible for everyone and want to help you reach your goals. If you're over 21 and have experience working in areas such as:

• Sport (including coaching and business management)
• Exercise Science
• Human Nutrition and Health
• Outdoor Adventure Leadership

If you don't meet the entry requirements for your chosen course, there are two options:

1. Return to Study
   By completing this programme, you may be eligible for entry into Year 1 of sports related programmes. It may also qualify you for foundation entry. Entry for either is subject to successful completion of the Return to Study programme. As part of the programme, learners submit a personal statement as well as written piece of work demonstrating academic skills covered on the programme. The course leader will then assess suitability for Year 1 entry or foundation entry.
2. Foundation entry
   Completing a foundation year can provide entry into Year 1 of our sports-related programmes, as long as you complete the foundation year at the required level. 

If you want a change of career but don't have the entry qualifications then this programme is for you. We'll help you develop the knowledge and skills needed to apply for a degree programme starting in September 2024. Studying at degree level may seem daunting. This course helps to break down the jargon and introduces you to skills you'll need for degree-level study, such as:

• Academic writing
• Research
• Presentation skills

This course will help you to refresh your learning skills and build your confidence. It will also provide subject introductions to the full range of sports-related degrees delivered by the university.

Our part-time Return to Study Entry programme runs over six weeks. You'll get a taster of university study through a combination of online sessions as well as self-guided study. Sessions run on Wednesdays 6pm - 8pm and Saturdays 9am - 11am via online delivery.

The programme will finish with an optional on-campus session. During this session, you can meet the course team, our student ambassadors and tour the campus and facilities
