Overview

About the degree programme

Our Applied Sport Science degree programme focuses on the study and application of scientific principles for sport.

You will explore the promotion, maintenance and enhancement of sport- and exercise-related behaviours and the factors that influence participation and performance in sport and exercise.

Our programme is centred on four key disciplines:

physiology

biomechanics

psychology

skill acquisition

How long it takes to complete this degree programme

This programme is studied over 4 years.

A key benefit to studying a 4-year degree programme is that you have the flexibility to study a range of subjects, outside your chosen degree programme, in Year 1 and Year 2.

This allows you the opportunity to study other courses that interest you or enhance your degree. By the end of Year 2, you can decide which of these subject areas you want to focus on in the honours years of your programme.

Top 10 universities in Europe for sports-related subjects in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2026

Programme benefits

Enjoy access to state-of-the-art research equipment and facilities, including a specialised building in the city centre with sports biomechanics and exercise physiology labs.

Combine studying with sport and exercise, using our world-class gyms and sports grounds.

Study at the same institution as professional athletes such as Olympic gold medallist Sir Chris Hoy, former Scotland Rugby Captain Kelly Brown and Olympic diver Grace Reid.

Graduate profiles

Stephanie Davis

Degree: Applied Sport Science

Year of graduation: 2012

Current work: Professional runner and coach

My experience at Moray House helped me become the athlete I am today. I learned a lot from my degree on how the body adapts and trains, and I learned from the University running club different training practices and the balance between training sessions. Both of these experiences have taught me things that I apply to training and coaching today.

Tom Julian

Current work: Head of International Cooperation and Public Relations, Bundesliga International

Moray House gave me access to state-of-the-art equipment, and the professors from both sports psychology and physiology provided support and guidance. The skills I learned ranged greatly, from independence and the importance of budgeting, to being diligent and thorough in my work, asking critical questions, and demanding more of myself to achieve the best possible result.

Life at Edinburgh

What our students say

My time at Moray House was fundamental to my progression because of the life lessons I learned along the way. The confidence to reach out and ask for an opportunity, even if it doesn’t look like one is there, has been the making of my career so far.

While in Edinburgh, you have to hike Arthur’s Seat for the sunrise, take every opportunity to join clubs and societies and enjoy your time with friends because you will likely never have time like that again!

Applied Sport Science alumnus

My experience provided me with a strong foundation to build on. The high level of transferable skills gained, such as thinking critically and analytically, and carrying out thorough and robust research has served me well in my current scope of work.
