OVERVIEW

MRes Sport and Exercise will allow you to critically explore a specific research area within the overarching subject area of Sport and Exercise. You will be supported in pursuing a specialist area of research by subject experts and will draw upon a blend of theory, practical and qualitative and quantitative data analysis experiences to prepare you for related employment or further study.

The MRes will support student progression, develop researchers and professional practitioners in specialist areas and would suit those wishing to gain more experience of research prior to embarking on PhD study and/or looking to gain experience of working on projects prioritised by industry partners.

You will develop industry-relevant/vocational skills (critical analysis, reflective practice, working in multidisciplinary teams) and will have the opportunity to undertake an extended laboratory or field-based research project, developing your employability skills and industry capital. Industry partners may also offer internships to selected MRes graduates where research projects support organisations to improve competitiveness, skills, and innovation ability.

Course Details

You will apply to undertake the MRes in a specific area or in line with the tutor specialist focus, see Specialisms below. The programme is a one-year full time programme which has two taught modules undertaken in the first trimester (Research Methodologies, Research Skills) which are designed to support you to develop your knowledge and understanding in the research area as well as allow you to become familiar with the project’s protocols. Once successfully completed you will undertake the 120-credit dissertation module in trimester two and three.
