Course summary
You will study how we need to adopt a holistic view of high-performance improvement. One that not only has an emphasis on technical and tactical improvement, but also involves an analysis of coach/practitioner and athlete/team behaviour and interactions. The focus of the curriculum will be:
How we achieve quality training environments
Competition preparation and execution
How to develop effective support structures
Building an effective performance culture
Develop effective relationships within the performance team
The Sport Performance and Analysis MSc aims to combine your current knowledge and understanding, practical experiences of training and coaching environments. It will also aim to equip you with solid academic knowledge, key practitioner and research skills that effectively prepare you for a career in improving the high-performance sport.
Throughout each semester, you will develop a critical understanding of relevant theoretical and vocational issues. This will provide a basis for entry into further professional development within this area of industry. This programme has an applied focus and is guided by the key professional competencies outlined for elite performance support by UK Coaching.
A key feature of our Sport Performance and Analysis masters is the opportunities for volunteering within the university sports department. A focus on professional skills and vocational practice throughout this course will help improve your employability by gaining hands-on experience.
This course is aimed at those with an interest in performance coaching and analysis. You will cover topics such as performance analysis, data analytics, athlete welfare, management and working with elite performers.
At the start of Semester One, you will be informed of the options for Semester Two. You will be encouraged to discuss your choice of optional modules with your personal tutor. Information concerning the modules will also be made available on the Electronic Learning Platform. You will choose one of the following options:
