Course Summary

Intro

This course is for you if you know you want to work in the world of sport and performance and are looking for a deeper understanding of applied sport physiology.

Our Applied Sport Physiology MSc is designed around four pillars:

  • practitioner focused
  • physiology skill-centred
  • science in practice
  • personal and professional development.

A priority throughout will be to develop a blend of hard, technical skills alongside softer interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence that is essential to become an effective performance physiology practitioner in the workplace.

You'll be supported to work towards relevant certifications, accreditations or affiliations with professional bodies, such as

  • British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES) Supervised Experience
  • to be an accredited sport and exercise scientist, and improve your employability.

    Our teaching laboratories are accredited by BASES.

    Careers

    Career opportunities for applied sport physiologists are growing, with applied performance physiology being recognised as a vital ingredient in the success and development of most sports, and for the individuals that take part it is an everyday aspect of their training.

    Some of our graduates work with sports governing bodies as applied physiologists or directly with sports teams. Others have set up their own endurance physiology consultancy services, or work in the public and private sector as physiologists.
