Careers

The course provides a grounding if you’re seeking to develop a career as a sport and exercise science professional. It provides the required postgraduate qualification if you’re seeking to engage in the accreditation process with the British Association of Sport & Exercise Sciences (BASES) in support of a career in sport and exercise science.

As with many postgraduate taught qualifications, students use the qualification to enhance an already existing career as part of CPD activity. So lecturers in colleges of further and higher education/ teachers in the primary and secondary sectors can use the qualification for career progression. In addition, graduates use the qualification to go on to further study by commencing a PhD, having been able to obtain a Masters without the need to disrupt busy working lives.
