Overview

The Sport programme offered by Cardiff Metropolitan University is unique within the UK Higher Education Institution (HEI) sector. The MRes has been designed to incorporate a taught phase (80 credits) and research phase (100 credits) that will support candidates from the initial stages of conceptualising and developing research ideas, and critically analysing empirical literature, through to planning and completing a substantial, independent research project in a specialist subject.
