MSc Sport and Exercise Science

... United Kingdom
... Plymouth Marjon University

Course Overview

Our MSc Sport and Exercise Science have been designed to capture the sport and exercise science aspects of the sector in an immersive way, which explores how the sports sciences overlay and work together. So, for example, you might study the physiological and psychological effects for athletes travelling across time zones to compete in a hot environment, exploring this in the environmental chamber in our BASES accredited lab. Or you might undertake biomechanical analysis using our high speed cameras and force plates to predict injury before it happens and then prescribe conditioning to reduce the risk.

MSc Sport and Exercise Science focuses on providing students with in-depth knowledge and understanding of the discipline by including unique field-based opportunities. You'll join a high-performance trip to St George's Park, home of England Football, where you'll gain an appreciation of sports science support at the highest level. You'll also benefit from opportunities with our key partners, such as Plymouth Argyle FC, Plymouth Raiders, and the Women's FA High-Performance Centre. Other options include hands-on experience with health checks and a range of patients in our on-site Health and Well-being clinics.

You'll be allowed to apply and develop knowledge, practical skills, and values in applied sports and exercise science contexts to obtain professional and personal progression. It is anticipated that students will look to pursue a career in sports and exercise science and follow the route to become BASES-accredited sports and exercise scientists. The MSc program is a crucial step towards achieving this because it enables students to achieve hours that count towards the Supervised Experience required to become a BASES-accredited sports scientist.
