This Master's program offers comprehensive training in applying psychological techniques to improve athletic performance and mental wellness. Designed to give students a solid foundation in both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, it covers essential areas like performance psychology, exercise and mental health, professional ethics, and research methodology.
With more flexible admission criteria (including Recognition of Prior Learning), this program differs from the accredited MSc in Sport, Exercise and Performance Psychology. Running concurrently with its accredited counterpart, this degree serves professionals looking to enhance their expertise in sports psychology and mental health without pursuing full psychology certification. It provides research-based training for careers in sports coaching, management, and similar fields where formal psychology qualifications aren't mandatory.
