Beginning in early childhood, students study how physical competence develops, can progress and refined into adulthood and maintained into old age. Links between physical competence, self-esteem and mental health are considered in light of the philosophical underpinnings of physical literacy.
Theories of motivation in physical activity are explored and applied to physical education and sport contexts. All of the studies on the programme is contextualised in the broader field of physical literacy. Students can consider their own personal philosophies and how they can support physical literacy in physical education, sport, community and leisure contexts.

The modules in the programme develop an understanding of how we can increase participation in physical activity, how we develop physical competence and motivation at all levels. The programme explores a personal philosophy in relation to physical education, sport and health. It studies how to lead and manage areas of work in relation to the development of health and wellbeing and how to conduct research.
