The Professional Doctorate in Sport (DSport) is a part-time multidisciplinary programme leading to a doctoral award.

You will likely be an experienced professional in a sport related area seeking to develop your research capacity, transform practice, and make a direct contribution to knowledge in your applied environment.

You will benefit from being able to work within, and study alongside, a multidisciplinary team of experienced researchers and practitioners. The course draws on the considerable expertise and reputation in sports aligned professions development, education, and practice-focused research in our Faculty of Health, Education, and Life Sciences (HELS).

The course is suitable for professions (including educators) from diverse backgrounds in sport including (but not limited to) sport and exercise science, sports coaching and physical education, sport and exercise nutrition, sports therapy, and other allied sports professions.
