Physical Activity, Health and Society

Summary

Regular physical activity provides significant benefits to health, both mentally and physically, as well as improving fitness and wellbeing. However, currently in the UK around 34% of males and 42% of females are not active enough to maintain good health*. 

The MSc explores the vital role of physical activity in society, from policy and public health to the spaces and places that enhance, shape and curtail movement. It is suitable for those with a background in traditional sport and exercise sciences, as well as those with a social sciences, anthropological, natural sciences, humanities or a broader disciplinary background.

The course is delivered by a multidisciplinary team of experts in the Department of Sport and Exercise Sciences in conjunction with the Department of Anthropology. The team delivers a cutting-edge curriculum built on our expertise in physical activity and sport inequalities and associated research methods. 

You will undertake three core modules which critically examine key challenges associated with physical activity to improve health and wellbeing, tackle health inequalities and social injustice. 

Learning is further developed by five additional optional modules which you can tailor to your interests. Two or three of these are based on aspects of health as influenced by physical activity and wider social, anthropological and life sciences, with the remaining modules focused on advanced quantitative and qualitative research methods. You will also complete an MSc dissertation in a related subject, under the guidance of a supervisor.
