Victoria Pendleton, Olympic Champion
You can be sure that your experience on the sports courses in Buxton will give you all you'll need to be ready for your career, and the work experience opportunities will give you the experience you need when you graduate.
Our new sports facilities have a wide range of equipment within the fitness suite and sports lab, with purpose built classrooms and a fully equipped sports hall and climbing wall.
The development will offer you a flexible learning experience, where you'll be able to draw on the local and regional sports clubs and community groups and you will be involved with the rugby and golf clubs in Buxton.
You'll also gain a professional qualification during your course which can be the Institute of Sport and Recreation Management Certificate or the British Cycling awards.
Get ready for work
We've developed our courses with employers, so you'll develop the knowledge and skills needed in your career.
There are lots of practical sessions and field trips, so you'll be able to put theory into practice. Buxton and the Derbyshire Peak District is a fantastic setting for understanding and developing practical and managerial sport.
We'll also provide you with an opportunity to do a placement either in the UK or abroad, something that would look great on your CV.
