pg00002 EDUCATIONAL AIMS OF THE PROGRAMME Programme Aims The aim of the two awards is to provide students with a critical understanding of current issues relating to the theory and practice of sport and exercise psychology. The awards provide a sufficient grounding for those individuáis seeking to develop a career as a sport and exercise psychology professional. The MSc in Sport and Exercise Psychology is aimed at those individuáis who possess Gradúate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) with the British Psychological Society (BPS). The award is currently accredited by the BPS and provides the first stage (Stage 1) in a training process towards becoming a Chartered Psychologist and Registered Sport and Exercise Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). The second stage (Stage 2) is a supervised practice element of 2 years duration. Thus, successful completion of the MSc provides the academic knowledge required to begin a training process to become a BPS Chartered and HCPC Registered Sport and Exercise Psychologist. The award can also provide the required post-graduate qualification for an individual seeking to engage in the accreditation process with the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES) that can also support a career in sport and exercise psychology. The MSc in Applied Sport and Exercise Psychology is aimed at individuáis who come from a sport science (or related) background and wish to study applied sport and exercise psychology at Masters Level. The MSc in Applied Sport and Exercise Psychology can provide the required post-graduate qualification for an individual seeking to engage in the accreditation process with the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES) and to gain Chartered Scientist status that can support a career in sport and exercise psychology. Both awards are available in full-time and part-time study modes and follow an identical curriculum consisting of 6 inter-related (2*15 credit + 3*30 credit + 1*60 credit) modules. That two awards have an identical curriculum is not unusual and is common in this discipline at other Universities (e.g., Loughborough University, Leeds Metropolitan University, University of Portsmouth). The distinct awards reflect the different entry requirements demanded by a professional organisation (in this case the BPS) and the potential for different career opportunities depending on previous learning. In short, the use of different award titles distinguishes those eligible to pursue Chartered Psychologist Status with the BPS. </div>
