What the college says

Physical Education offers a variety of learning experiences for all students. You will examine social and cultural issues that affect the world of sport and physical activity, along with physiological and psychological factors which affect sports performance. Furthermore, you will work towards becoming an expert in teaching others, improving your own performance and developing an understanding of what makes a champion. A Level Physical Education develops the skills of research, analysis, evaluation, and combines them with your own high level performance in a chosen activity. These skills will not only benefit you in your other A Levels, but are also highly-regarded by university admissions tutors. In addition to degrees in Physical Education, Sports Science and related disciplines, Physical Education can lead to a wide range of careers, including sports management, sports marketing, the armed forces, outdoor pursuits, government and local government policy development, sports journalism, sports psychology and physiotherapy.
