Through a combination of research, theory, and practical insights, the MSc in Sport Psychology is a comprehensive and dynamic course designed to equip you with the core knowledge, practical skills, and competence required to subsequently become ethically, empirically, and theoretically-based scientist practitioners in the field of sport psychology.

A strong emphasis will be placed on providing students with guidance and insight regarding working as an applied practitioner within this field.
YOUR SPORT PSYCHOLOGY EXPERIENCE
The MSc in Sport Psychology at Swansea University will move from theory, to process, and subsequently to product – arming students with the necessary information and insights to evaluate and critically apply sport psychology research across various populations, contexts, and settings.
This theory to practice, to product approach will ensure that students not only understand the fundamental and contemporary sport psychology theories and concepts, but also gain extensive insights into how to be an effective sport psychologist in practice across different settings and employment modes. This approach will ensure that graduating students can enter a rapidly growing and evolving field with the fundamental knowledge, critical insights, and practical skills needed to adapt, develop, and ultimately succeed in understanding, predicting, and improving the performance of elite and amateur athletes in team and individual sports.
SPORT PSYCHOLOGY EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
This programme is designed with specific employability and entrepreneurial skills in mind. Graduates of the MSc Sport Psychology will have the potential to become accredited Sport Psychologists. This will enable graduates to work as self-employed Sport Psychologists or with sports teams and sports organisations, which is a growing opportunity.
