With the continued expansion of sports strength and conditioning provision around the UK, there’s a growing need for highly qualified graduates in this field – and for those already working to further extend their specialist strength and conditioning knowledge.
On this Master’s you’ll learn and apply contemporary theoretical principles and scientific methodologies that enhance strength and conditioning practice.
The programme is designed to build on the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) award and the UKSCA Accredited Strength and Conditioning Coach (ASCC) award, to provide a necessary range of theoretical and practical experiences for a career as a strength and conditioning practitioner.
You should hold at least a 2.2 Bachelors degree with honours.
This course leads to a variety of career paths. You’ll graduate with the skills and experience to work in strength and conditioning at both elite and amateur levels.
Opportunities also exist within national governing bodies where you can contribute to the development and implementation of conditioning programmes.
Beyond the field, graduates can pursue careers in research and academia, or find roles in the health and public sectors. Additionally, private consultancy offers another avenue for you to apply your expertise.
