What will I learn?

Strength and Conditioning is a popular area within sport science, predominantly from within the discipline of physiology, often requiring knowledge of inter-disciplinary applied sport science and coaching. Our Masters degree in Strength and Conditioning provides you with in-demand skills and a solid foundation for a rewarding career.The primary focus of this programme is sporting performance. However, the application of strength and conditioning principles to diverse areas, including exercise, pre- and rehabilitation, youth and ageing populations, and other specific and clinical populations is becoming more commonplace.By joining this degree, you will have the opportunity to study the application of these principles in your taught courses, and see how they are reflected in a range of practical contexts through a voluntary internship or placement. We encourage and help facilitate, where possible, excellent applied experience and professional development opportunities, using established links with local and national sports teams and governing bodies.We are always evolving and aiming to improve the teaching, learning, experience and employability of our students. We recently redeveloped this programme to focus on practical learning. Our experts and accredited practitioners in the field will prepare you to thrive in a competitive job market and a changing world.

Entry requirements

For international students

A UK 2:1 honours degree, or its international equivalent, in a sports science-related subject/major that includes courses on anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, research methods, and a research dissertation.

If you have a degree in another subject then your application must include evidence of the following:

at least a year of relevant work experience (e.g., internship, placement, paid employment) as a strength and conditioning coach, sports scientist, or fitness/ personal trainer and evidence relevant professional qualifications

that you are working towards professional accreditation with a relevant body (e.g., UKSCA, NSCA, minimum Level 3 personal trainers award or Level 3/4 fitness trainers qualifications).

In addition to the undergraduate degree, we are interested in applicants with some evidence of non-academic professional development in strength and conditioning/ sports science/ sports therapy/ physiotherapy. However, you can apply without this evidence of non-academic professional development and your application will still be considered on its individual strengths.

*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
