Research skills to take you far

Independent research is a cornerstone of this MSc. You’ll gain analytical and research skills as you undertake a substantial investigation into a theme of your choosing. The aim is to develop a realistic and worthwhile research project which will also improve your critical thinking, project management and decision-making skills – all qualities which are valued by employers.

You’ll benefit from being part of a dynamic research community at the University. Our staff is breaking new ground in areas ranging from professional practice in sport psychology to human balance control and injury risk reduction.

Currently, MSc Applied Sport and Exercise students are carrying out research into blood lactate and running performance for a local running company, Running with Jake, in collaboration with our Human Performance Unit team.
