Masters Degree Description

Our Musculoskeletal Sport Science and Health MSc will provide you with knowledge of the scientific concepts and procedures underpinning sport and exercise-related musculoskeletal function, measurement, injury and treatment.

The programme allows you to adopt a multidisciplinary approach to the scientific study of sport and exercise related musculoskeletal health and performance including anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, bioengineering and kinesiology. 

You will also have the opportunity to carry out in-depth and critical research in selected areas of interest. Examples of the projects undertaken by past students include: the biomechanics of dynamic sport movements and performance; musculoskeletal modelling to examine muscle force; bone health and exercise in older people; retrospetive case-control risk factors of sport injury; skeletal muscle adaptation; extracellular vesicle therapeutics; and strength and conditioning exercise for performance improvement, injury prevention and rehabilitation.
