* Muscle and exercise; Performance enhancement techniques; Exercise in extreme environments
* Sports injuries; Physical activity and public health; Exercise in medical conditions
* Exercise in cardiac disease.
Semester 2
* Physiological adaptations to chronic exercise; Cardiovascular science
* Bioethics
* Factors affecting physical performance
* Physical activity, fitness and metabolic health
* Cell physiology of exercise.
This degree programme offers the flexibility for you to specialise or to extend your range of knowledge. For example, if you are interested in elite performance in sport you might choose Performance enhancement techniques and physiological adaptations to chronic exercise. Alternatively, if you are interested in health promotion you may prefer Physical activity and public health and Physical activity, fitness and metabolic health.
In addition, your choice of two research projects can offer additional specialisation or the chance to learn new skills. The projects can be based at the University or elsewhere.
Please note that the MRes degree programme offers you the chance to choose from a wider range of courses than the taught MSc programme in Sport & Exercise Science. The MRes programme has two research projects and the MSc has one project. Please contact the course organisers for more information if you are uncertain which programme suits you better.
