M.Sc in Sport and Exercise Science

at Anglia Ruskin University - Cambridge

TEACHING AND ASSESSMENT

12 months full-time

Year 1:
The five modules you cover will help you to understand and effectively communicate potential problems or issues faced by sport science and coaching practitioners so you can be proactive in dealing with them. You'll investigate and answer real-world problems across the broad area of sport using interdisciplinary team work. You’ll create a proposal on how you could solve a problem based in the area of sport, health, and exercise. You’ll then work to achieve this by transferring knowledge between disciplines and defend your choices of recommendations to a panel of academics, businesses and industry partners.

You'll develop an increasingly autonomous and critical approach to research so that you are able to draw conclusions using multiple sets of data, effectively compare and contrast data and use literature to support ideas and theories. You'll gain the skills you will need to develop your scientific voice and start working as a postgraduate researcher by exploring what makes a good research study and approaches you can take. You'll plan and carry out a research project.

Modules are subject to change and availability.

Throughout the course, we’ll use a range of assessment methods to help you learn and judge your progress. These include written reports, essays, reflective working, data collection online and seminar discussions, audits and technology development.
