ABOUT
Introduction
Accredited by the British Psychological Society, this highly flexible Master’s provides a strong theoretical background to sports psychology in practice. You’ll experience excellent peer learning alongside applied experiences, where you’ll observe sport psychology in action.
Structure
Content
The course is made up of the following six compulsory modules:
- Contemporary Issues in Sport Psychology – Develop a broader understanding of contemporary issues in sport psychology. These incorporate the social, developmental and clinical psychological components affecting athletes throughout their lives, and across all levels of sport competition.
- Psychological Skills – An introduction to the body of empirical work that investigates; cognitive processes and skill acquisition in sport, how individual differences may play a role in skill acquisition and execution of sport skills and how mental skills training can be used to enhance the performance of teams and individuals.
- Conducting and Evaluating Psychological Research – Develop an understanding of research methods and data analysis in psychology. We aim to equip you with research literacy, whereby you are able not only to design and conduct psychological research appropriately, depending on the research question, but are also capable of critically evaluating published psychological research.
- Professional Practice in Sport Psychology – An introduction to the lifecycle of the delivery of sport psychology support to target populations such as individual athletes, teams of athletes, parents of athletes and coaching staff. It will include key topics such as philosophical assumptions underpinning sport psychology service delivery and the ethics of psychological support. The module is designed to provide students with a detailed understanding of “how” to deliver sport psychology services from intake, needs analysis, case formulation, planning, delivery, monitoring and evaluating.
- Exercise Psychology – An introduction to the investigation of exercise and physical activity. You’ll study key themes including current recommendations for physical activity, the relationship between physical activity and mental health, and the role of motivation.
- Dissertation – To achieve the MSc award you will complete an in-depth research project, supervised by specialist subject tutors.
This structure is for the full-time course delivery only. For part-time delivery, the same modules will be studied. However, the structure will differ.

Entry
Entry requirements
You should have either:
- an honours degree awarded by a UK institute of higher education of at least lower second status, in Psychology or a relevant subject
or
- qualifications deemed equivalent by the Course Leader
In order to be eligible to progress from the MSc to Stage 2 training in Sport and Exercise Psychology and become a Chartered Sport and Exercise Psychologist you must have GBC status. Applicants that do not have GBC status would not be eligible, under current BPS and HPC arrangements, to go on to Chartered Psychologist status. Those students without GBC who have studied sport and exercise science may be eligible for the SEPAR route through BASES.
We particularly welcome graduates with appropriate experience in sport and exercise psychology, and those who have been employed as sport and exercise psychologists for some time are welcome to apply.
If you have gained your degree from abroad you may be eligible for GBC and you should contact the BPS to clarify this. In many cases this can be a time consuming process so it is advisable to complete these enquiries prior to applying for the MSc, and well in advance of the application deadline to ensure your application can be considered for September entry.
We also offer the modules that make up this MSc as Continuing Professional Development (CPD) stand-alone courses. If you are interested in this option please contact the Course Leader for more details.
English language support
If you meet the academic requirements but require additional support to take your language skills to the required level, you may be able to attend one of our pre-sessional English courses. Students who successfully complete the pre-sessional course can progress onto their chosen degree course without retaking an IELTS or equivalent.
