Applied Sport and Exercise Science

Entry requirements

We designed this course to continue specialist studies at masters level for students who already possess a relevant first degree. You may also have an appropriate combination of other subject specific qualifications and relevant practical experience.

Normally you need one of the following

• a good first or upper second honours degree in sport or exercise science

• a good honours degree in a relevant science discipline with suitable content

• an alternative qualification with a suitable concentration of relevant science (at the discretion of the course leader)

• a qualification in science or sport or exercise science at a level lower than first degree coupled with relevant practical experience

The course leader interviews applicants with non-standard qualifications. You may also be able to claim credit points which can reduce the amount of time it takes to complete your qualification at Sheffield Hallam. Find out more
