Why choose us?
You can be reassured that you will experience the highest-quality sporting education with us. We were one of only a few education establishments in the country to win the right to use the prestigious ‘Get Set’ 2012 Olympic logo. This was in recognition of our commitment to the Olympic and Paralympic values of friendship, courage, respect, excellence, determination, inspiration and equality, through our work within College and the local community.
Our Sport students work hard but also enjoy a variety of trips to sporting venues including Lilleshall National Sports Centre, York College and the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield, and of course, watch live sport at matches and major events across the UK.
Industry opportunities
If you are a high-level sports performer, or keen to further develop your skills in football or rugby, you can apply for one of our study programmes combined with our Sport Academy. Our Sport Academy provides fantastic opportunities for progression into professional clubs and national teams for students from all sporting backgrounds. The academies will give you amazing opportunities to develop your skills in a semi-professional environment, compete on behalf of the College and can even lead to a career as a professional sportsperson.
Some of the sport-related work experience opportunities you will benefit from include sports development work with children in local schools, fitness testing, coaching and personal training with local community groups.
