Master of Sports Science overview

Master degrees are for those desiring a comprehensive understanding of their desired specialisation. The discipline is quite broad, consisting of several different subject areas and specialisations, from coaching to sports medicine. One of Bond University’s programs provide units in managerial finance, marketing, organisational behaviour and others, while the University of Queensland offers knowledge of lumbar injuries, head injuries and more. These two year programs are therefore best taken by those with a clear understanding of what they want to learn and why.

Employment options

Graduates from these programs will find themselves well equipped for careers in their chosen area of sports science. Medical professionals will be best suited to working in clinics and hospitals, whereas coaches can find employment in clubs or schools. The more detailed list of employment options mentioned here is worth reading regardless of specialisation.

Scholarships and funding

General opportunities like Fulbright Scholarships are the best source of funding sports science students can expect. These programs tend to have unique prerequisites, however. Regarding this particular program, students must attend Edith Cowan University in addition to having an exceptional GPA in prior study. Others like the Gallipoli Scholarship are only for those who had a descendent fight in WWI, making them outright inaccessible to many. Students are therefore advised to check these prerequisites carefully before applying.

Prerequisites and selection process

Requirements vary for these courses depending on specialisation; students from the University of Queensland’s sports medicine program will need a bachelor of medicine in addition to two years of relevant work experience. Other programs will only require a prior bachelor degree, with a credit GPA obtained in prior study (65%). Should students fail to meet this requirement, admission into these programs through completion of a graduate certificate or diploma is a viable alternative.
