If you're thinking of doing an MSc in Strength and Conditioning, then it's good to know about the career pathways that follow the course - here are a few!

Firstly - a bit about the course
Strength and conditioning is the application of various sport and exercise science disciplines to enhance physical performance. A common application of strength and conditioning principles is to enhance physical performance in sport and athletics, such as sprinting, jumping, swimming, throwing etc. However, the benefits of strength and conditioning extend far beyond sport. Anyone who is physically active can benefit from strength and conditioning training. For example, professions such as paramedics, firefighters, police, and military personnel depend on their physical condition to perform their duties safely and efficiently.

An important aspect of strength and conditioning is injury prevention.


Strength and conditioning is an ever-evolving industry, and while there are many roles within sport and clubs, the expertise of strength and conditioning coaches allows them to apply their skills beyond sport. Graduates will have the option to pursue careers in a range of settings, including:
