The MSc Strength and Conditioning is an advanced programme designed for individuals aiming to become highly skilled performance coaches in sports, fitness, and athletic development. This course provides in-depth knowledge of strength training, athletic performance enhancement, biomechanics, physiology, and evidence-based coaching strategies.

Students learn how to design effective training programmes, apply advanced conditioning techniques, use performance analysis tools, and tailor coaching methods to athletes of different levels—from amateur to elite. The course includes practical laboratory sessions, field-based training, athlete monitoring, and research-led teaching that prepares learners for real-world coaching environments.

Students also explore topics such as injury prevention, recovery strategies, sports nutrition, and long-term athlete development. The research project or dissertation allows learners to investigate specialised areas of performance coaching, supported by experienced academics and industry professionals.

Graduates are prepared for careers as strength and conditioning coaches, performance analysts, sports scientists, fitness consultants, rehabilitation specialists, or roles within professional sports teams, academies, and high-performance training centres.
