Become a Sport and Exercise psychology professional. Gain applied experience, industry leading theoretical and applied skills and the additional CIMSPA Health Navigator qualification.
The difference between good and great performance is psychological. Our MSc Sport and Exercise Psychology at the University of Greenwich prepares you to become a confident, ethical and highly employable practitioner in one of the fastest-growing areas of sport, health and human performance.
This course uniquely combines cutting-edge academic study with real-world professional training. Alongside advanced sport psychology expertise, students also have the opportunity to gain the CIMSPA Health Navigator qualification, a nationally recognised industry credential that enables graduates to work directly in exercise referral, behaviour change and public health environments.
You will learn how to enhance performance, motivation, resilience and wellbeing across a range of settings – from elite sport to community health programmes. With applied placements, practitioner mentoring and strong London industry links, you graduate not only with a Masters degree, but with additional professional accreditation and genuine career-ready experience.
A minimum of a 2:2 honours degree in Psychology, Sport Science, or a related discipline. Relevant professional experience in sport, coaching, fitness or health settings will also be considered.
Equivalent international qualifications are accepted. Applicants require IELTS 6.5 overall with no component below 6.0, or an equivalent English language qualification.
Graduates progress into diverse roles including sport psychology consultant, performance lifestyle advisor, wellbeing coach, exercise referral specialist and community health practitioner. The additional CIMSPA Health Navigator qualification opens career routes in the NHS, local authorities, gyms, charities and public health programmes. The MSc also provides an excellent foundation for BPS Stage 2 training, doctoral study and HCPC registration as a Sport and Exercise Psychologist.
