Innovative teaching
One of the main strengths of our courses is the provision of opportunities for students to work with real-life clients. These clients range from elite athletes to school children to older adults with a variety of medical conditions. These fantastic opportunities provide our students with an unparalleled experience to enhance their employment potential.
Specific examples include working on Coaching in the Community schemes, Exercise Referral projects and with talented athletes as part of the Solent Talented Athlete Network Development (STAND) initiative.
Staff teaching on the courses have also developed a range of innovative teaching methods which include extensive use of myCourse, the University’s Virtual Learning Environment. In addition, videos of physiology laboratory experiments taking place have been uploaded onto iPod Touch devices and these are loaned out to students who are then able to learn and revise at their own convenience.
