Applied Sport and Exercise Sciences (Sport Psychology)

The psychology of sport is an ever-expanding area that looks to establish a way of enhancing athlete, player and other high-performing groups' outcomes. This is done through an evidence-based approach informed by research to allow practitioners to meet that aim.

Our MSc puts you at the forefront of this process and immerses you in sport psychology in a supportive and challenging way. You begin by examining theory and research within sport psychology and then move on to looking at ways of applying that theory as a researcher and potential practitioner.

You finish your degree with a period in the workplace assisting relevant groups with performance enhancement and researching a topic that will hopefully give you the chance to contribute to the body of literature within sport psychology and inform future practices.
