Msc Sport and Exercise Sciences University of Sunderland

Program Description

Help elite athletes reach their optimum sports performance or improve fitness through exercise referral and community programmes. Specialise in both those areas through a solid grounding in grounding in data visualisation and interpretation, advanced sport and exercise sciences and contemporary issues in sport. Build a portfolio of work that will give you a clear advantage when applying for jobs. The course mixes taught elements with independent research and self-directed study. There is flexibility to pursue personal interests in considerable depth, with guidance and inspiration from supportive tutors. By the end of the course, you will have a portfolio of work, feedback from clients/employers, and a record of practical and academic projects. Compared to undergraduate studies, this Masters has more emphasis on self-directed lab work, data collection and analysis. We encourage you to undertake real-world internships and build up experience with external clients and sports clubs. This practical experience will complement the rigorous research elements of the course.
