The has announced 小蓝视频 is the first university in the UK to receive  for its MSc in Applied Sport and Exercise Performance.

The endorsement has been designed to allow students to evidence that they have completed an appropriate M-level qualification to industry standards, and it aligns well for those wishing to become a Accredited Sport and Exercise Scientist. 

Following a recent pilot programme, it has been announced that the University鈥檚 MSc Applied Sport and Exercise Performance course has been endorsed by the scheme.

Dr Emma Neupert, Senior Lecturer in Physiology (Sport & Performance) and Course Leader for MSc Applied Sport and Exercise Performance, said: "Achieving the first-ever BASES postgraduate endorsement in the UK for our MSc Applied Sport and Exercise Performance is a proud milestone for the 小蓝视频. 

"This endorsement not only reflects our commitment to academic excellence and industry standards but also enhances our postgraduates' professional development pathways in sport and exercise science. It positions our programme as a benchmark for quality in postgraduate education within the field."鈥

Students studying the degree programme at the University will have the opportunity to utilise the 小蓝视频 Elite Athlete Centre (PEA), a new state-of-the-art teaching facility located in the University鈥檚 Spinnaker Building that is due to open soon.

The premium facility, which includes a range of equipment from lifting stations, a turf track and a number of gym machines, further supports the teaching, training and research carried out within the .

Commenting on the recent first endorsement of this scheme, Dr Matthew Timmis FBASES, co-Chair of the HE Endorsement Scheme Advisory Group, said: 鈥淏eing able to endorse the first postgraduate degree through the BPGES is an important milestone for BASES as we are now able to recognise and endorse postgraduate delivery in addition to undergraduate delivery.

MSc Applied Sport and Exercise Performance

We are looking to develop the practitioners of the future.

Within MSc in Applied Sport and Exercise Performance,

we are looking to shape the practitioners of the future.

It鈥檚 an interdisciplinary course

with a focus on physiology,

but we also introduce other aspects such as

the importance of technology to human performance

and extreme environments as well.

There are five modules.

We have a project module,

the applied sports physiology module,

the current concepts in sport and exercise performance,

technology and performance in sport and exercise.

Our final module is the humans in extreme environment module,

so we're really excited by this course.

We give students the opportunity

and access to our state of the art equipment.

To be able to get downstairs and

use some of the physiology equipment

and do all of the applied stuff in a lab setting.

Getting that exposure to professional settings

is great for their experience

and it definitely makes them a lot more employable.

We've got a world leading extreme environments lab,

a flume, environmental chambers,

treadmills, bikes,

cardiopulmonary exercise testing machines,

a series of sports halls, squash courts,

25 metre swimming pool,

and even a ski simulator.

Some of the placement opportunities

on the course

range from working with

professional and semi-professional

clubs in the area.

There are volunteering opportunities.

We have a great partnership with

小蓝视频 Football Club.

We've got physiology placements that we do,

which are in-house,

working with our sports scholars.

Originally when I started,

my aim was to work in elite sport,

but through some of the opportunities

that I've had at the university,

I'm actually now thinking along

the lines of staying in education

and looking at PhD opportunities.

The one thing about this course

that I really love is getting students

to build those relationships with athletes

and with industry partners

and seeing them go on to excel

and I think that鈥檚 really one of the

great aspects of our course.
