The programme enhances your specialist knowledge and understanding of the scientific principles underpinning optimal performance in sport and exercise. It develops your understanding of current theory, research and debates in sports science and gives you the opportunity to conduct an in-depth study in your chosen areas of interest. It provides opportunities for you to develop professional skills, including monitoring, analysing, evaluating and prescribing interventions, and application to client issues, for the optimisation of performance in a sport or exercise context. The programme is designed to develop the professional and academic skills of graduate sport scientists.

Our programmes have been developed and designed to provide students with the required knowledge and skills to work autonomously in the field of sport science and sports therapy. The programmes provide opportunities for you to develop and demonstrate both specialist academic and transferable skills such as good communication, problem solving, critical analysis and the ability to work independently to a high standard. The programmes also aim to give you the opportunity to build long-term careers within your chosen field.
