Physical education is an important vehicle for improving health, behaviour, sports participation, and performance, and as such continues to have political and educational significance across the UK.

Lincoln's BSc (Hons) Physical Education and Sport degree is a multi-disciplinary programme. It utilises current research, policy, and practice in order to develop the knowledge, skills, and understanding relevant to the physical education and sport sector.

The course has been designed for those who have a desire to work with young people in schools or youth sport settings, and engagement in real-world activities is integral to the programme. Students can develop their teaching abilities, knowledge, and experience of curriculum activities, while having opportunities to gain experience through practical sessions and placements in schools.

Previous students have successfully progressed on to School-centred Teacher Training or PGCEs to become PE teachers. Opportunities are available both in Lincoln and throughout the UK. Alternatively, students may choose to progress to Master’s programmes in education, enter the Armed Forces, or work in sport development.
