Human Performance Optimisation MSc

Developed for those for whom performance truly matters, this course offers you the opportunity to explore scientifically grounded approaches to Human Performance Optimisation (HPO) and provide you with evidence-driven strategies by which to optimise human performance.<br/><br/>HPO represents a broad topic that is too complex to be dealt with adequately by a single discipline or profession. Therefore, this course takes an interdisciplinary approach which draws upon different disciplinary perspectives and integrates their insights to provide a unified and comprehensive syllabus that addresses the full spectrum of human performance including physiological readiness, psychological resilience, cognitive performance, nutrition, and sleep.<br/><br/>Recent advances in technology and the life sciences have the potential to enhance human performance beyond the limit of normal biological function. The application of such scientific advances to alter human function and behaviour has significant moral, ethical, and legal ramifications. Therefore, this programme will also aim to develop your understanding and deliberation of these issues.
