The new programme is particular timely given the increasing emphasis placed on the utilization of physical activity and sport as a means to improving health (e.g. obesity reduction and prevention). The MSc offers expert postgraduate training to meet the needs of professional exercise scientists and those who wish to achieve this level in their careers.
The programme provides you with the opportunity to examine biological, psycho-social and socio-cultural variables with a view to develop in-depth knowledge and skills in a particular area of interest within the discipline.
