Entry Requirements

The course is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) as a recognised stage 1 qualification for those wishing to pursue a career as a Sport and Exercise Psychologist, whilst also fulfilling the requirements for graduates wishing to pursue professional training through the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES).

Only applicants who already hold, or are eligible for, Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) of the British Psychological Society (eg: they have undertaken a BPS-accredited undergraduate degree in psychology or sport psychology), or those who plan to obtain it by completing a BPS-accredited conversion course, are eligible to register for the BPS-accredited MSc programme.

For applicants without GBC, we only admit those whose undergraduate degree has a substantial sport psychology component (eg: Sport Science) and meet eligibility for the BASES professional training pathway.

International requirements

International students should check our country-specific pages for equivalents. If English is not your first language you will need to achieve an IELTS score of 6.0 overall with no less than 5.5 in any section (or equivalent).

The British Psychological Society does not accredit overseas institutions, therefore if you have an overseas degree in Psychology you will need to apply for individual Graduate Membership of the BPS. 

Assessment Methods

Assessments are varied including essays, case studies, group projects, role plays, oral presentations, reflections and guides for performers and coaches.

All modules have a credit value of 20, except for the research project which has a credit value of 60. All modules are assessed by a variety of both written and oral forms of assessment.

Additional Information

Part-time students will be charged for the modules undertaken per academic year. Module prices are calculated as a percentage of credits against the total credits and cost of the degree.

Tuition fees are subject to an inflationary increase each year, meaning if your course runs over more than one academic year you may pay an increased fee per module for each subsequent year of study. Tuition fee increases for returning students will be capped at the higher of 5% per annum or the rate of Consumer Price Index inflation in the United Kingdom.
