Summary
This taught MSc in Sports Science is designed to provide you with an advanced, research-led programme of study in sport and exercise science and medicine. A key strength of this programme is its flexibility, which enables you to specialise in physical activity and health, sports performance, or sports medicine.
* Accredited by the **Royal Society of Biology** for the purpose of meeting, in part, the academic and experience requirement for the Membership and Chartered Biologist (CBiol).
* The aim of this programme is to merge sport and exercise medicine and sport and exercise science within a single degree programme providing a broad range of options across these disciplines.
* Benefit from access to the facilities and resources of the National Stadium Sports, Health and Injury Clinic at Hampden Park, a custom-built, state-of-the-art sports medicine facility.
* Develop and enhance your skills in:
+ Application of knowledge to novel concepts and situations
+ Data handling and statistics
+ Experimental design
+ Interpretation and evaluation of experimental data
+ Literature searching and critically evaluating relevant scientific evidence
+ Oral presentations
+ Research methods and ethics
+ Scientific writing
* Access state-of-the-art facilities to study performance and health aspects of sport and exercise science, from the whole body to the molecular level. These include advanced exercise laboratories, metabolic investigation suites and a molecular biochemistry lab. We are the best equipped exercise science group for laboratory facilities in Scotland.
* Opportunities for internships (in place of a research project) may be available for some students since the University has close links with a number of regional/national sporting bodies and professional sporting clubs.
* Guest lecture staff provide interactive sessions in their specialist fields.
**This programme is part of the IPhD programme. Find out more.**
