This programme offers a range of pathway routes designed to enable students to specialise in their area of interest. The programme has been designed to enable students to develop a range of discipline-specific abilities and apply them to selected areas of special interest for more advanced study of the physiological, nutritional, performance analysis, biomechanical or psychological factors that might influence sports performance.
The programme comprises of a range of core modules designed to provide opportunities for students to enhance their abilities in a range of transferable skills and to develop in students the basic competencies that will aid their personal development should they wish to pursue BASES accreditation in the future.
The practical skills associated with each module have been mapped to the BASES guidelines for research and sports science accreditation to indicate where students can gain experience and begin to develop a practitioner competency base, which can be used if students wish to start supervised experience either during or after completion of this Masters programme.
The addition of an experiential learning placement within the course and an opportunity to work within the Sports Science Support Unit means that this course also provides invaluable practical experience.
