The programme is available as a one-year full-time course or a two-year part-time option. Through a partnership with Saracens Rugby Club, students gain access to state-of-the-art facilities at StoneX Stadium, including advanced simulation suites and specialist labs. The course culminates in a 30,000-word dissertation, providing students with the expertise to conduct industry-level research. This programme is ideal for those looking to excel in academic, medical, or psychology-oriented fields, offering a collaborative environment that prepares graduates for both further academic study and the professional job market.
