Course summary

What makes Applied Sport Physiology MSc at Worcester special?

This course prepares students who wish to work in the field of applied sport physiology across a wide spectrum of individuals and environments by developing a deeper understanding of applied sport physiology.

Using an evidence-based approach you will gain knowledge and skills in applied physiological techniques and be able to optimise and individualise physical conditioning programmes. Students will be offered opportunities to develop their reflective skills, lending themselves to be resilient, intellectually curious and have the skill set to be critically reflective lifelong learners.

The course offers a significant opportunity to put theory into practice across a range of modules with the placement module specifically developing application of skills to the workplace. The course aligns with the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES) professional competencies for sports physiology so if students are wishing to work towards BASES accreditation, then this course will support your first years of supervised experience and professional development.

What will you study

Our courses are informed by research and current developments in the discipline and feedback from students, external examiners and employers. Modules do therefore change periodically in the interests of keeping the course relevant and reflecting best practice. The most up-to-date information will be available to you once you have accepted a place and registered for the course. If there are insufficient numbers of students interested in an optional module, this might not be offered, but we will advise you as soon as possible and help you choose an alternative.

How will you be taught?

The University places emphasis on enabling students to develop the independent learning capabilities that will equip you for lifelong learning and future employment, as well as academic achievement.

A mixture of independent study, teaching and academic support from Student Services and Library Services, and also the personal academic tutoring system, will enable you to reflect on progress and build up a profile of skills, achievements and experiences to help you to flourish and be successful.

Assessment

The MSc Applied Sport Physiology aims to develop autonomous, independent and evidence-based practitioners with a detailed knowledge of sport physiology and the ability to apply it to a range of sports or one specific sport (if chosen by the student). There is a strong emphasis on the application of theory to professional practice.

The course provides opportunities to test understanding and learning informally through the completion of practice or ‘formative’ assignments.

Each module has one or more formal or ‘summative’ assessments which are graded and count towards the overall module grade. Assessment methods include a range of coursework assessments such as essays, reports, portfolios, performance, presentations and a final year independent studies project. Some suggested examples are below but these are still to be finalised.
