We designed this course to continue specialist studies at masters level for students who already possess a relevant first degree. You may also have an appropriate combination of other subject specific qualifications and relevant practical experience.

 

Normally you need one of the following

• • a good first or upper second honours degree in sport or exercise science
• • a good honours degree in a relevant science discipline with suitable content
• • an alternative qualification with a suitable concentration of relevant science (at the discretion of the course leader)
• • a qualification in science or sport or exercise science at a level lower than first degree coupled with relevant practical experience

 

The course leader interviews applicants with non-standard qualifications. You may also be able to claim credit points which can reduce the amount of time it takes to complete your qualification at Sheffield Hallam.

 

If English is not your first language you will need an IELTS score of 6.0 with a minimum of 5.5 in all skills, or a recognised equivalent. If your level of English language is currently below IELTS 6.0 we recommend you consider an appropriate Sheffield Hallam University Pre-sessional English course which will enable you to achieve the required level of English.
