Sport College Courses

Sports Academies

If you want to see how far you can progress within professional sport, we offer a range of sports academies, that allow you to study a whole host of subjects alongside them.

Within the Sport department, we also have a dedicated Level 3 Sport (Academy Option) for football, netball or rugby players. This course would enable you to combine your studies whilst fulfilling your performance potential and playing for your club, county or country.

We can also offer support through the Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS). A dual career scheme, TASS will ensue that you are supported both in sport and in your education, regardless of the subject you choose to study with us. The goal of the scheme is to allow you to balance the two paths so that one doesn't need to be sacrificed for the other.

If you love sport but want your primary focus to be your studies, then our non-academy pathway is the right one for you.

A well-connected sports college

Our students access great training, playing and work experience opportunities through our partnerships with professional teams and governing bodies, as well as leading sports and exercise businesses.

You'll also be able to develop your skills through study trips, such as our recent visit to Sydney. Looking to undertake sought-after Duke of Edinburgh Awards alongside your studies? You can complete Bronze, Silver and Gold with us.
