In terms of being accepted onto the programmes, is it preferable to have a psychology or sports science background?
There is no preference, although students who can demonstrate a background in both (e.g.,an undergraduate degree in sports science and a postgraduate diploma in psychology,or undergraduate degree in psychology and a postgraduate diploma in sports science) are viewed favourably. However, each application is evaluated on individual merit and a variety of factors are taken into consideration (see questions 2 and 4 above).
