Key Summary

    About: The Mental Skills and Mental Health in Sports and Exercise MSc focuses on developing knowledge about the psychological aspects of sports and exercise. You'll explore mental skills training, performance enhancement strategies, and ways to promote mental health within sports contexts. This program prepares you to understand and apply practical approaches to support athletes and exercisers in mental well-being.
    Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue careers in various fields, including sports psychology, coaching, exercise therapy, and wellness coaching. Potential roles include sports performance consultant, mental health adviser for athletes, and positions in fitness and wellness organizations.

Introduction

This new programme has more flexible entry requirements (e.g. RPL) than the existing MSc in Sport, Exercise and Performance Psychology and also has the option of an exit award after 60 credits completed (e.g. Higher Diploma Award). This degree runs parallel to the existing programme which aligns to the Psychological Society of Ireland accreditation requirements. The purpose of this degree is to offer a pathway for those seeking to upskill on topic areas relating to mental skills and mental health in sport and the degree is not a qualification in psychology. It offers a grounding in research and application for those who seek further training to pursue roles that don’t explicitly require a qualification in psychology (e.g. sports coaching, sports management etc.).
