Football Coaching And Development, BA (hons) in University of Central Lancashire (UCLAN)

Our Football Coaching and Development Programme is designed to provide students with the skills, experiences and networks that will establish our graduates at the forefront of football coaching and development practice. The programme is rooted in applied practice by linking theory to practice and provides many opportunities for students to apply their skills in real world contexts across a range of opportunities both in the UK and abroad.

The course has been designed to allow students to choose options that reflect their personal interests and aspirations and allow flexibility through module choices at second and third year.

Our focus is on learning not testing; therefore, we have no formal examinations but an emphasis on developing independent, resourceful, problem solving coaches who have developed transferable skills that can be applied across many contexts.

• Through our networks you’ll have the opportunity to work with professional sports organisations and community clubs to undertake work experience and research opportunities.
• The programme is aligned to the professional standards and practices developed and advocated by UK Coaching, allowing you to graduate with the skills, knowledge and experience you need to become an effective coach and leader in the sports sector.
• There are opportunities to undertake additional qualifications around the programme of study.

DBS CHECKS

This course will involve you working with vulnerable groups of individuals, including children. In order to ensure that the University offers places on their programmes to suitable candidates you will all be required to obtain a satisfactory Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service clearance (formerly termed CRB). We will be able to guide you through this process once you have been offered a conditional place of study at the University of Central Lancashire.

It is important to note that should your Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check prove to be unsatisfactory for the purpose of the course you have applied to, your offer of a place for that course may be withdrawn. If you have already enrolled on a course and your DBS check subsequently discloses a criminal conviction, you may be required to withdraw from the course even if you have already started. If you are aware that your DBS check will disclose a previous conviction, please contact the course leader for advice as not all convictions may preclude you from continuing with the course.
