MSc Applied Performance Analysis in Sport

Hartpury University's MSc Applied Performance Analysis in Sport is a postgraduate programme designed for graduates seeking to build professional-level skills in sports analytics. Grounded in applied, real-world practice, it covers performance coding, data visualisation, and the use of industry software including Hudl SportsCode and Nacsport. Students undertake two compulsory work placements — one with a Hartpury performance sports academy and one with an external organisation — supported by established partnerships with clubs including Cheltenham Town, Exeter City, Forest Green Rovers, and Bristol Rovers.

Delivered on campus at Hartpury's Gloucester site, the programme is available full-time over one year or part-time over two years. Teaching is conducted through lectures, workshops, and practical sessions, with access to a dedicated performance analysis suite. Students gain complementary access to Hudl Academy Level 1 courses alongside their studies. The programme leads to an MSc award, with exit points at Postgraduate Certificate and Postgraduate Diploma level also available. It is delivered by Hartpury University.
