MRes Sport & Exercise Science

Designed for graduates seeking to advance their careers in high-performance sport or progress toward doctoral study, the MRes Sport and Exercise Science at Hartpury University combines research training with applied practice across areas including sport psychology, biomechanics, physiology, nutrition, strength and conditioning, and performance analysis. Students undertake an independent research project shaped by their own interests or in collaboration with industry partners, which have included Cheltenham Town FC, Forest Green Rovers FC, England Rugby, and GB Rowing.

The programme is delivered by Hartpury University at its Gloucester campus, with a mix of campus and online learning to accommodate different schedules. It is completed in one year full-time, with part-time pathways available over two to three years. Successful students are awarded an MRes degree at pass, merit, or distinction level, accumulating 180 credits across compulsory and optional modules.
