Sport, Physical Education and Development (with Foundation Year)

What is physical education like at UEL?

It's an exciting time to be involved in the fields of sport and physical education. Recent global events such as COVID-19 and the subsequent lockdowns have shown us the importance of a holistic approach towards physical activity as a vehicle for health and wellbeing.

You will:

explore an inclusive approach to sport and physical education in one of the UK’s most diverse areas
learn how to encourage as many people as possible to engage in sport and physical exercise, including through sport coaching
have the opportunity to put your studies to the test through real-world opportunities including local schools and national organisations such as Panathlon Challenge.

A foundation year at the University of East London (UEL) is more than just an extra year—it’s your pathway to success. It helps you adjust to university life, build confidence, and develop essential skills for levels 4-6 of your chosen degree. With dedicated support, you’ll gain the knowledge needed to thrive in your studies and future career while becoming part of a supportive community.
