Already working in the world of sport? Or want to make the move into this field? Look no further. We’ve teamed up with Everton in the Community (the official charity of Everton Football Club) to offer a distinctive opportunity for anyone with an interest in sport, physical activity and mental health.

You’ll work with academics, practitioners and other professionals to understand the relationship between movement and our minds. We’ll also help you examine how mental health can be improved – and compromised – by taking part in sport, physical activity and exercise.

Knowing what makes an effective programme for promoting good mental health is key, so you’ll spend time examining others and designing your own. You’ll also have the opportunity to carry out research which focuses on policy and creating impact.

Your future career

Our MSc Sport, Physical Activity and Mental Health prepares you for a range of rewarding career paths in community and professional sport, education, youth work, business and marketing, and events.

Students from this course have secured a range of roles including:

  • sport and mental health officer
  • personal development manager
  • mental health and wellbeing practitioner
  • health navigator
  • player care officer
  • children and young people’s mental health promotion worker
  • research assistant
  • teacher and lecturer
  • health and wellbeing manager
  • social prescription worker
  • education and mental health practitioner

Want to specialise further? You’ll be in a great position to progress to doctoral study in sport and physical activity or another related field.
