Our student, Alexander, shares that the postgraduate strength and conditioning course was beyond “stimulating, thought-provoking, and a challenge to [their] current philosophy”.

Pioneers in strength and conditioning

We are widely recognised as an international leader in strength and conditioning education. We were the first UK institution to offer an undergraduate degree in strength and conditioning and an online part-time Strength and Conditioning MSc.

Assessment methods

The programme makes an extensive use of non-traditional assessment methods, alongside more traditional methods of assessment.

Non-traditional modes of assessment include the posting of video blogs, practical coaching vivas, lab report (timed) and production of a website. Traditional modes of assessment include essays, case studies, presentations and viva voce examination.

With our online Strength and Conditioning master’s, you will develop essential transferrable skills, such as teamwork, strategy, and resilience.

Entry requirements

Students should hold a 2:2 in an undergraduate degree, preferably in Sport Science or a related field. Experience in the strength and conditioning field amounting to at least ten hours per week is also required. This can be either paid or voluntary work. Some flexibility in requirements is possible for those achieving lower degree classifications where they can demonstrate substantial industry experience and that their current commitment to study has progressed from the time of their first degree.
