Did your undergraduate degree open your eyes to the exciting and diverse World of research? Do you want to be part of the growing Sport and Exercise and Adventure industries or research communities? Do you dream of doing applied work with elite athletes to help improve their performance? Do you want a better understanding of how science can be applied to sport and physical activity to improve your coaching and/or teaching ability? Do you want to develop your understanding of exercise as a medicine for people with health problems or want to promote the benefits of physical activity and exercise? Do you want to work in a career where exercise is used for rehabilitation? Are you thinking of becoming a sport and exercise psychologist? Would you like to earn more than you would if you entered the work force with an undergraduate degree?
