MSc in Strength and Conditioning

The programme provides bespoke research-informed modules to develop your knowledge of all topics relevant to strength and conditioning. The programme capitalises on the University's sporting strengths to enable the provision of hands-on coaching experience, designed to give you the tools to develop athletic performance at the highest level.

You will focus on the science and practice of strength and conditioning, as well as the fundamental science underpinning performance adaptations. You will also immerse yourself in the strength and conditioning environment and have the opportunity to apply for an extended coaching placement with either Loughborough University performance athletes or external sport partners.

The programme culminates in a substantial independent research project, allowing you to apply the knowledge and techniques you have learned to answer a scientific question relevant to strength and conditioning that will further develop your understanding.
