We offer both taught and research based postgraduate programmes across a wide range of areas from exercise science to sport coaching. All of these programmes allow our students to develop and apply knowledge in the sciences of sport, exercise, health and rehabilitation.

See our Postgraduate programmes:

Taught programmes (MSc, MRes, PGDip and AdCert) Research programmes (PhD)

Our postgraduate programmes often involve collaboration with other departments in the University, such the Medical School and School of Psychology, as well as professional bodies such as Professional Golfers' Association and Football Association.

As a Birmingham student you will be taught and supervised by leading academics in their subjects. We are passionate about sharing our knowledge and expertise with you; you will become part of the School's academic community which includes professors, lecturers, visiting experts, and fellow postgraduate students and researchers.

"We're interested in fuel metabolism during exercise - in finding ways to prolong exercise performance. If we can find new ways to increase people's capacity to burn fat, we may also help with the prevention of diseases such as obesity and diabetes."

How to achieve the PSA

The Personal Skills Award offers you a choice of completing in a way that suits you! The PSA is flexible and you decide the opportunities you get involved in and when you complete.

There's a choice of getting involved in online courses, taught modules, work experience or on campus activities such as sports opportunities and student groups.

Each activity has its own PSA points value. To complete the PSA you earn points by participating in a combination of activities.

Activities range from 5 up to 150 PSA points, therefore there's a large variety of activities that each take up different amounts of time and commitment.

Steps to completing the PSA

1. Complete the PSA Induction Course on Canvas. At the end of the course, you will be invited to submit the PSA enrolment form, which enrols you on the programme.

Once you've attended an Induction Session, you enrol onto the PSA via an online enrolment form. This confirms your eligibility to the programme.

2. Get involved in PSA Opportunities. Choose to combine activities to earn your PSA points. You can build up your points over the course of your degree, you can take one, two, three or more years, you just need to ensure that you complete the award before you graduate.

3. Choose which award you complete:

The PSA (Foundation)
Earn a total of 80 PSA points, complete the online Employability Essentials course (20 points) and you will receive the PSA (Foundation) certificate.

The Personal Skills Award
Earn a total of 150 PSA points, complete the online PSA Completion Course, and pass the PSA Completion Form.

This is the full PSA award.

The PSA (Advanced)
Earn a total of 250 PSA points, complete the online PSA Completion course, pass the PSA (Advanced) Completion Form and pass the PSA (Advanced) interview.

The PSA is tailored to suit different learning styles and needs. You can choose how you complete over the duration of your degree.
