Location of University of Portsmouth

The psychology of human performance in sport and/or exercise environments is fundamental to helping individuals to realise their physical, technical and/or health performance potential. With the increased awareness as to the negative consequences of an inactive, obese lifestyle, government and society are becoming increasingly interested in understanding ways to optimise elite sporting performance in addition to sustaining an active and healthy general population. The present British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited course aims to train students in understanding how the mind can impact upon human behaviour and performance within competitive sport and everyday physical activity settings.

This course can be studied full-time for one year or part-time for two years.
