## Overview

We're proud to be the first Russell Group university to offer a British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited MSc in Sport and Exercise Psychology. Delivered by expert academics and practitioners, we combine cutting-edge theory and real-world application.

Our students engage in real-world tasks such as podcasts, academic posters, and client-style case studies that mirror professional roles. We're commended by the BPS for our assessment design. Our small cohort size ensures every student receives tailored feedback and mentoring.

Graduates are well-prepared to:

- undertake further academic study, such as a PhD or Professional Doctorates
- progress to Stage 2 training to become a sport and exercise psychologist via:

- The BPS Qualification in Sport and Exercise Psychology
- or the Sport and Exercise Psychology Accreditation Route (SEPAR) via BASES
