Sport
Have you ever dreamed of becoming the fitness coach for a Premiership football team, of taking responsibility for exercise rehabilitation in a hospital cardiology unit, of working as a development officer within a city's leisure services department, or gaining scholarship support to train as an elite performer while studying for a degree? Maybe achieving a degree is your dream if, like me, you spent too many hours playing sport and not enough time studying.
These dreams, and many more, have turned into reality for graduates who have studied sport with us.

Kick start your career
Rated one of the top three universities in North West England for employability (The Guardian University Guide 2011), the University of Cumbria is a great place to kick start your career in sport. We provide a wide range of coaching, sport and exercise degrees in Lancaster and Carlisle with plenty of opportunities for hands-on experience.
Our lecturers are passionate about sport and eager to share their expertise with you. With our relatively small class sizes, you can study sport in a friendly, supportive community where you're treated as a person rather than another face in the crowd. Getting access to tutors and equipment is a breeze, giving you every opportunity to quickly progress in your studies.
With an emphasis on work-based learning by placements, volunteering and community projects and the opportunity to gain national coaching awards, our sport package is second to none!
