This course delivers an advanced multidisciplinary understanding of contemporary issues that apply to sport and exercise science. It is aimed at learners who wish to update their knowledge and skills for professional development.
The course offers a range of modules that integrate knowledge from the key sub-disciplines of sport and exercise science and adopts an issue based framework to achieve this goal.
The MSc incorporates a substantial piece of independent research. The course is the first in the UK in the subject area to adopt an electronic distance-learning based format. It is therefore designed to be particularly attractive to those in full time work who wish to study in a flexible manner, and who cannot access traditionally delivered MSc courses due to geographical, work-based or other constraints.

About this course

Normally a first degree in a related area, but evidence of a significant commitment to and long term interest in the field of study may also, under certain circumstances, be considered when examining applications.

The award provides a sufficient grounding for those individuáis seeking to develop a career as a sport and exercise science professional and provide the required postgraduate qualification for an individual seeking to engage in the accreditation process with the British Association of Sport & Exercise Sciences (BASES) in support of a career in sport & exercise science. The award follow a curriculum consisting of 6 inter-related (2*15 credit, 3*30 credit + 1*60 credit) modules. The modules are delivered in a part-time distance learning format through a Virtual Learning Environment (Blackboard: Bb).

To date, this form of delivery is not offered by any UK institution involved in Masters level Sport and Exercise Science. Specifically, the aims of the awards are to: 1. Deliver a multi-disciplinary understanding of contemporary issues that apply to sport & exercise science; 2. Develop key practical and analytical skills and knowledge to maintain and enhance employability; 3. Offer a stimulating learning environment whilst supporting you in your development as an independent and reflective learner able to make decisions in complex and unpredictable situations; 4. Provide you with experiences designed to enhance critical analysis with respect to current literature, theory and practice in applied sport & exercise science; 5. Enable you to use advanced investigative, analytical and applied sport/exercise science techniques to advance knowledge in their field of study; 6. Provide you with a sound basis for progression to further study or employment in the field of sport & exercise science. 7. Support those of you working towards accredited status within BASES. (Note: this award provides you with a Pg. qualification which is required to become an accredited sport & exercise scientist, it does not deal with accreditation per se.) </div>
