What students say

Via StudyCheck · 2024-2026: an aggregated rating, not our own assessment, paraphrased in our own words and never quoted.

3.9 /5

Around twenty-seven master-level reviews average 3.9 out of 5. Reviewers describe an interdisciplinary Movement and Health profile drawing on psychology, medicine, nutrition, sociology and management, with a strong research-methods component. It is well recommended overall, though some cohorts report that the programme feels over-subscribed and that staff capacity is stretched in places.

  • Broad career options
  • Engaged teaching within the specialisation tracks

Criticised

  • Programme can feel over-subscribed
