Course Description

This MSc provides you with a critical understanding of current issues relating to the theory and practice of sport and exercise science. It’s been developed to support individuals whose work, family commitments or location making attending a traditionally delivered course a challenge.

You’ll collaborate with staff and your peers in a dynamic learning environment. You’ll engage with content directly via video lectures, synchronous and asynchronous text and audio discussions, supported by 24/7 access to a wide range of online resources.

The curriculum is focused on the key sub-disciplines of sport and exercise science covering areas such as sports biomechanics and injury, physiological support of athletes, applied research methods and the practice of sport psychology.

All modules are designed and delivered by staff with an international research reputation alongside excellent applied links with sports organisations, businesses and professional bodies.

The course is underpinned by research excellence – in the 2018 REF, our research was rated as being of international quality overall with 78% of the research considered either world-leading or internationally excellent.

Student Destinations

The course provides a grounding if you’re seeking to develop a career as a sport and exercise science professional. It provides the required postgraduate qualification if you’re seeking to engage in the accreditation process with the British Association of Sport & Exercise Sciences (BASES) in support of a career in sport and exercise science.

As with many postgraduate taught qualifications, students use the qualification to enhance an already existing career as part of CPD activity. So lecturers in colleges of further and higher education/ teachers in the primary and secondary sectors can use the qualification for career progression. In addition, graduates use the qualification to go on to further study by commencing a PhD, having been able to obtain a Masters without the need to disrupt busy working lives.
