Sport

The Sports industry is full of passion, energy and lots of opportunity. From coaching to media, events to performance, it’s wide‑reaching, exciting and a field where you can make a real difference.

Sports students can access all the equipment they need in our new state-of-the-art Fitness Training & Performance Centre on site. The department has strong links with Andover Leisure Centre, offering students further access to professional-standard facilities and real-world insight into the sports and leisure sector. Industry-relevant learning includes:

  • Planning and delivering Sport your own sports coaching session
  • Taking part in competitions and challenges
  • Work placements
  • A wide range of sport-related trips
  • Insights from guest speakers in areas such as coaching, personal training and sports development

Andover students have made their mark in the industry, working in roles such as fitness instructor, personal trainer, sports development, PE teacher, outdoor activity instructor, youth development or progressing to apprenticeships or higher education.

We also have our own Football Academy and links with Chelsea Football Club Foundation. Find out more here
