What the college says

Physical Education is a combination of theory and practice. The ability to maximise performance is something that athletes are always seeking to do and in this course you will learn how that happens. From studying the practical application of scientific principles from Biology, Chemistry and Physics you will learn how elite performers use these to get the best out of themselves. You will be able to put them into action for yourself and learn how performance is related to more than just physical attributes and training. By studying sports psychology you will find out how memory affects reaction time or how elite athletes combat nerves when performing in front of a live audience. You will gain insight into the way in which sport has evolved over generations and how sport today is influenced by everything from the ancient Greeks to modern technology
