MRes Sport and Exercise

Designed for graduates with a background in sport and exercise, this Master of Research programme at the University of Winchester allows students to specialise in one of several disciplines, including physiology, biomechanics, coaching, sociology, strength and conditioning, business, exercise and health, or medicine. The chosen specialism is reflected in the title of the awarded degree. Core modules cover Scientific Research Methods and Scientific Research Review, alongside a substantial 120-credit independent research project undertaken with the guidance of academic staff from the Department of Sport and Exercise.

The programme is delivered entirely via distance learning and is available full-time over one year or part-time over two years, with a September start date. Teaching methods include seminars, workshops, and lecture-style sessions, with assessment through written assignments, presentations, portfolios, and the extended research project. The programme is led by Dr Matt Smith at the University of Winchester.
