This Applied Sport and Exercise Psychology MSc focuses on developing a student's scientific understanding of the human mind, behaviour and experience, and of the complex interactions between these and the domain of sport and exercise. It has been designed to be flexible and relevant to the student's individual needs and interests, with a strong emphasis on the application of theory to professional practice. Within the modular structure all students undertake core/compulsory modules in: * Research Skills; * Independent Study (a one to one supervised programme of work leading to the development of the proposal for the Research Project); * Supervised Experience – a module tailored to the needs of the individual and could include directed work with a specified client group or individual; * Research Project relevant to the programme being studied.

All the School's postgraduate programmes are designed (with further training where appropriate) to enhance the career prospects of Sport, Health and Exercise Science graduates. Career destinations of Bangor postgraduates include: the Home Country Sports Institutes, National Governing Bodies, the Olympic Medical Institute, Professional sports teams and organisations, the fitness industry, the NHS (hospitals and Primary Care Trusts), Teaching and Education (after completing a Postgraduate Certificate of Education). Further postgraduate study (i.e. Doctoral research) is another vocational route.
