Introduction:
Develop your expertise primarily within the area of sport and exercise physiology.
Current practical, technical and research skills are embedded in the course to reflect the needs of sport-related careers and industries. You will develop various practical and empirical skills transferable across industry, sport and health sectors. Your focus will be on developing research expertise for a project conducted over the entire year of study that you will submit and publish.
You'll learn a strong complement of applied and research skills, balanced with how to communicate key information to relevant sport industry partners. Skills needed if you want to work in industry or to go gain a PhD.
- 100% of our postgraduate Sport and Exercise Sciences students are satisfied with their course's quality and would recommend it to others. (PTES 2021)
- In the last Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021) - the UK's system for assessing the quality and impact of research in universities - we’re proud that 100% of NTU's Sport and Exercise Sciences, Leisure and Tourism submission was assessed to be world-leading or internationally excellent.
- 90.9% of postgraduate Sport Science graduates who entered employment are in a 'High skilled' role 15 months after finishing their degrees. (Graduate Outcome Survey 2019/20)
- Top 20 in the UK for teaching quality in Sport Science (Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2023)

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
