A-Level Physical Education offers an exciting opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the scientific, psychological, and historical components of PE and Sport. Stimulating content is at the heart of this engaging qualification, which will encourage students to immerse themselves in all aspects of the theoretical content. Studying A Level Physical Education will give you a fantastic insight into the amazing and evolving world of sports performance. Not only will you have the chance to perform a sport through the non-exam assessment component, but you will also develop a wide-ranging knowledge of the how and why of physical activity and sport. The combination of physical performance and academic challenge provides an exciting opportunity for students. This course will develop analytical students who work equally well independently as they do in a team, and who are striving to improve performance through the application of theoretical concepts. This is a science-based course that is linked to Physiotherapy, Sports Science, Nutrition, and Coaching Science or teaching. However, due to the diversity and transferable skills the course offers students have gone on to study Engineering, Biomedical Science, and Chemistry.
