Career opportunity

All our postgraduate programmes are designed (with further training where appropriate) to enhance the career prospects of Sport, Health and Exercise Science graduates. Career destinations of Bangor postgraduates include:  the Home Country Sports Institutes, National Governing Bodies, the Olympic Medical Institute, Professional sports teams and organisations, the fitness industry, the NHS (hospitals and Primary Care Trusts), Teaching and Education (after completing a Postgraduate Certificate of Education). Further postgraduate study (ie Doctoral research) is another vocational route.

This specific degree will provide you with many of the physiology related experiences that are required to work with athletes and exercisers in applied sport settings (e.g., amateur, professional) and/or casual exercise / health settings. The degree will also facilitate further academic study in complementary topics, and for careers in research (e.g., research fellow, PhD). You’ll also obtain transferrable skills that are applicable to careers outside of sport and exercise physiology, both in the public and private sector.
