MSci (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science
Are you interested in sport and the science behind it? Do you aspire to help elite athletes perform to their highest potential? Or make your mark by tackling current health challenges such as obesity, heart disease and diabetes? Our Master in Sciences (MSci) Sport and Exercise Science degree combines underlying scientific principles from the sport science disciplines of physiology, biomechanics, sports psychology and sports coaching with the highly practical skills, of the more contemporary sports science disciplines of strength and conditioning and performance analysis to help prepare you for a career within the field of sport and exercise science. Furthermore, in the final year of study you will focus in particular on the application of what it means to be a sport and exercise scientist within performance sport, working as part of an interdisciplinary team, and developing the skills to be able to successfully assimilate information provided from support members from all sub-disciplines to optimise athletic performance. On this course you will: Learn in state-of-the-art facilities, including our Human Performance Laboratory Develop a critical understanding of the fundamental principles which underpin applied sport and exercise science. Learn how to analyse and evaluate performance needs. Design and deliver training interventions with the goals of improving health and wellbeing, optimising performance and minimising the likelihood of injury. Be able to work with all levels, from the recreational exerciser to the elite athlete. Have the chance to work in a range of applied settings including; local sports clubs and their athletes, in schools and in the wider community.
