How do you study?

Terms one – four

Three taught modules (two core and one optional delivered during the first two terms) and an ongoing Research project.

Modules

Core modules

Sport Science Research Methods
You will learn how to design and conduct a research project including a proposal, ethical approval, methodological design and writing for publications. You will develop your skills in the use of software packages for statistical analysis of data and be introduced to qualitative data analysis.

Sport Science in Action
This module will provide you with relevant information to develop your employability and practical skills in your chosen field. The module will include a variety of teaching methods and sessions that are aimed at assisting sport scientists with both field and laboratory work and research.

Sport Research Project
As the core aspect for the Masters by Research (MRes) you will undertake an extensive research project in performance analysis or biomechanics, under the supervision of our expert staff. You will design and conduct the necessary theoretical and practical research work, and present the findings in the formats of a scientific paper and poster.

Optional modules

Biomechanics of Optimal Performance
This module will enable you to develop a systematic understanding of the measurement and analytical tools required to undertake sport biomechanics research and support work.

Advanced Kinesiology of Functional Musculoskeletal Performance
This area of study will enable you to measure various indices of neuromuscular and biomechanical performance and critically evaluate their relative importance in the maintenance of synovial joint integrity to enable optimal function. You will develop an awareness of the challenges faced by the injured athlete and rehabilitation team.
