MSc Strength and Conditioning

University of Chichester

Our MSc Strength and Conditioning course provides you with the knowledge and skills to prepare you for accreditation with the United Kingdom Strength and Conditioning Association (UKSCA) enabling you to embark on your strength and conditioning career. You will focus on the scientific principles of the strength and conditioning process, their practical application and assessment using both laboratory and field-based measurement systems.In addition, you will explore the practical application of biomechanical and physiological concepts, contemporary performance analysis and coaching techniques, as well as applied data and research skills. Our dedicated Work Placement module allows you to develop your practitioner skills by undertaking a period of work experience with appropriate athletes or clubs. The employability record has been excellent with many graduates securing full-time employment as strength and conditioning coaches within professional environments, such as local sports clubs/teams, with others progressing to study on to PhD programmes or opening their own business. Throughout the course, you will study both modules that will give you the theoretical foundations upon which you will apply practical skills through placement opportunities. The degree will culminate in a final assessed project, either in the form of a research dissertation, or a supervised experience portfolio. The supervised experience portfolio option enables you to experience a more vocational rather than research-based assessment.
