Course Overview

Sport, Health and Exercise MSc is aimed at graduates with a background in sports science who want to build on their existing knowledge with advanced study in the specialist areas of human performance and sports psychology. Our selection of optional modules, covering the range of physiological, biomechanical, and psychological factors governing how the human body works, allows you to tailor your course to your interests and objectives. You can choose, for example, to concentrate on the mechanics of optimal performance, with a focus on developing your practical and analytical skills of accessing and enhancing a persons strength, flexibility, stamina, and athletic technique. Alternatively, you might examine the key psychological factors that impact sports performance such as anxiety, motivation, concentration, and confidence, and learn strategies that help athletes to overcome inhibitions and achieve peak performance. Your course will include two compulsory modules. One investigates contemporary issues related to physical activity and health such as the effects of ageing, injury rehabilitation, obesity, and cardiac health. The other looks at research methods and data analysis, tools that will prepare you for higher, research-related degrees.
