About This Course

This MSc degree in Sport and Exercise Psychology is accredited by the BPS. Students who complete the degree could therefore achieve Stage 1 training of the qualification in Sport and Exercise Psychology. This is a key component of the career pathway to becoming a chartered psychologist. The course focuses on developing your scientific understanding of the human mind, behavior and experience, and the complex interactions between these and the domain of sport and exercise. It has been designed to be flexible and relevant to your individual needs and interests, with a strong emphasis, in the taught component of the course, on the links from of theory to practice. The degree will equip you with a blend of evidence-based knowledge and practical skills that act as a stepping-stone to prepare you for a career working with individuals who are involved in these specific settings.

Professional Accreditation

The School is proud to have been the first to gain BPS postgraduate professional training accreditation for this MSc programme. The course aims to provide Stage One of the training required to achieve Chartered Status and full membership of the BPS’s Division of Sport and Exercise Psychology.

Careers

All our postgraduate programmes are designed (with further training where appropriate) to enhance the career prospects of Sport, Health and Exercise Science graduates. Career destinations of Bangor postgraduates include: the Home Country Sports Institutes, National Governing Bodies, the Olympic Medical Institute, Professional sports teams and organisations, the fitness industry, the NHS (hospitals and Primary Care Trusts), Teaching and Education (after completing a Postgraduate Certificate of Education). Further postgraduate study (ie Doctoral research) is another vocational route.

This specific degree will provide you with a stepping-stone towards the qualifications that are required to work with athletes and exercisers in psychological settings (e.g., amateur and professional athletes and/or casual exercise / health and wellness settings). The degree is also an ideal starting-point if you want to pursue further academic study in research driven environments, and ultimately careers in research (e.g., research fellow, PhD). You’ll also obtain transferrable skills that they might be able to use in careers outside of sport and exercise psychology, both in the public and private sector.
