MSCI Sport and Exercise Science

Designed for students seeking an integrated undergraduate-to-masters pathway, this four-year programme at the University of Chichester covers the core disciplines of sport and exercise science — including physiology, biomechanics, psychology, strength and conditioning, and physical activity for health. The first two years build foundational knowledge across these areas before students choose either a Sport Performance or Physical Activity for Health pathway. In years three and four, study advances to masters level within a chosen specialism, equipping graduates with the scientific theory and applied practical skills needed to work as sport scientists.

Delivered on campus at Bishop Otter Campus in Chichester, the programme runs for four years full time and awards an MSci qualification. It is endorsed by the Chartered Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (CASES) and includes an Approved Centre for the Level 4 Award in Nutrition. The course is ranked 15th in the UK for Sport Science by The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2025 and third for graduate prospects in Sports Science by the Complete University Guide 2026.
