Study Details: 1 Year Full-time
This programme is led by expert sport and exercise psychologists and is accredited by the British Psychological Society, a highly regarded marker of quality assurance that prospective employers value. Applicants for MSc Sport Psychology are eligible for Sports Scholarships that we offer for a variety of student athletes. These scholarships are available on an individual and team sport basis and give you exclusive access to benefits as well as a percentage reduction on your tuition fees based on the level of scholarship.
This degree will provide you with a stepping-stone towards the qualifications you need to work with athletes, coaches, and exercisers in sport and exercise contexts within elite sport and the community. This master’s degree is also ideal if you want to pursue further academic study and a career in research related fields.
You will have a relevant (e.g., psychology or sports science) First, 2:1 honours degree or a 2:2 honours degree in Psychology (from a BPS-accredited programme and therefore GBC status eligibility) or equivalent. It is important that you have previously undertaken an empirical research project as part of your undergraduate degree and have completed a research design and analysis module.
If you do not have these formal qualifications but have significant relevant work/life experience (e.g. as an athlete/coach or sport/exercise professional), you may apply and, if shortlisted, you will be invited for an interview.
