About the course
For students with an interest in pursuing a career in the sport field, this coursework-based master’s degree allows students to specialise or broaden their expertise.
Courses will draw on sport science research, as well as experts in the field from within and outside UC, to provide students with historically and culturally grounded knowledge and skills. Students will have flexibility to choose courses in biomechanics, exercise physiology, sport psychology, sport nutrition, strength and conditioning and performance analysis.
This one-year master’s degree could lead to a career in high performance sport, or allow established professionals to upskill and update their sport science knowledge.

You should have completed a sport and/or science-related New Zealand degree, or equivalent, and normally should have achieved at least a B average in 300-level courses in this degree.
You are also required to meet UC's English language requirements.
