About this course LJMU's Sport Physiology and Performance is geared towards both classical physiology and research at the forefront of molecular exercise physiology. The School of Sport and Exercise Sciences is ranked 6th for Sports Science (QS World University Rankings 2024) Study on a programme developed by world-leading researchers in our pioneering School of Sport and Exercise Sciences Access state-of-the-art physiology and biochemistry laboratories in our award-winning Tom Reilly Building Benefit from a strong emphasis on active learning and practical training Look forward to a range of career options, such as working as an Exercise Physiologist in sport science, athletic support or health assessment settings. You could also do a PhD or become a teacher or lecturer in science Study full-time (1 year) or part-time (2 years) There has never been a more exciting time to undertake an MSc in Sport Physiology and Performance. Sport represents one of the world's major businesses and scientists have an increasingly prominent role in working with athletes, coaches, governing bodies and industry to help optimise elite performance This master's is ideal if you want to specialise in physiology-related studies at doctoral level for academic and professional development. You may also aspire to a professional career in exercise physiology. During your studies you will be provided with detailed knowledge of physiology applied to sport and exercise contexts. The programme is also designed to extend your knowledge beyond 'classical' exercise physiology studies and into the new arena of molecular exercise physiology. The curriculum is informed by a world class research infrastructure with over 20 full-time academic staff and support staff contributing to the taught modules and research dissertation. You will be provided with extensive practical experience and academic development in fundamental scientific technical including research methods, statistical analysis and scientific communication. You will complete a record of competency in physiological assessment, deliver a conference presentation and gain first-hand experience of 'wet lab' techniques including western blotting and proteomics.
Candidates would normally be expected to have a good honours degree (first class or upper second class) in sport science, or a related discipline with a substantial physiology component at level 6. The programme typically enrols 20 FT/PT students per year. Demand for places is high and applicants are selected on merit, in some instances interviews may be conducted at the discretion of the Programme Leader. Within the application, the Personal Statement should be regarded as an important opportunity to evidence (i) passion for exercise physiology, (ii) ability to make the most of opportunities and (iii) autonomy/ motivation to go beyond minimum requirements. In addition, applicants may be required to provide copies of their research dissertation or equivalent evidence of their scientific training or experience.
