MSc/PgD/PgC in Sport & Exercise Science Masters

... United Kingdom
... Cardiff Metropolitan University

Course Overview

Many students who graduate with MSc awards in Sport and Exercise Science go on to secure relevant and gainful employment in research or professional practice in relation directly to the content of our established and highly respected provision. Many graduate students go on to study for postgraduate research degrees (MPhil/PhD), whether that be domestically or internationally.

Other graduates have pursued careers as clinical and applied science consultants, lecturers (further and higher education) and, in the fitness and training industry. Recent graduates have also secured employment as applied sport scientists in the National Institutes of Sport (e.g., English Institute of Sport and Sport Wales), within UK academic departments and within clinical practice settings.

It is important to note that the emphasis on strategies and work completed by organisations mentioned above relates to competitive as well as recreational sports. This speaks to some of Cardiff Metropolitan University’s goals to contribute to civic engagement, helping to build more healthy, equitable and prosperous communities across Wales and beyond.

We have a thriving campus, with a focus on sports and exercise, and we have excellent links with governing bodies. Both of these characteristics help to provide students with vital work experience to help create worthwhile professional networks, helping students to secure future employment. Beyond the working day and during weekends, numerous sports academies run on the Cyncoed campus. These activities, as well as the support that is required by our successful British University and Colleges Sports teams, also provide local and accessible opportunities for our students.

Finally, linked to our thriving research community, there are often opportunities for students to become involved in these endeavours. Many student gain experience by work shadowing academic staff and postgraduate research students – some of these links develop into opportunities for students to complete dissertations in subject areas that complement this postgraduate research activity.
