'LEVELLING THE FIELD' BURSARY

WHY ARE WE LEVELLING THE FIELD?

Our goal at Mindflick is to make performance psychology accessible, and one of the ways we are doing this is to create opportunities for aspiring performance psychologists to pursue a career in the field.

The high costs of training to become a performance psychologist can disadvantage people in challenging financial circumstances. Beyond undergraduate training, it can be difficult to access financial support as aspiring performance psychologists progress towards professional training and practice. So we are launching the ‘Levelling the Field’ bursary to improve social mobility in the profession of performance psychology, by giving a deserving candidate the opportunity to undertake their MSc without having to pay for tuition fees. 

THE OPPORTUNITY

The successful candidate will:

• Apply for and enrol in the 25/26 intake of Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU)’s renowned MSc Sport Psychology programme with tuition fees fully covered by Mindflick. This is a full-time course taught in-person in Liverpool. 

• Access Mindflick’s practitioner training programmes and Mindflick Labs internal education events.
