MSc Sport Rehabilitation
This Master's degree in Sport Rehabilitation aims to develop highly competent, industry ready Sport Rehabilitation practitioners with a critical awareness of the field. This aim is achieved by developing independent, reflective students with an understanding of professional issues, clinical reasoning and evidence based practice, whilst simultaneously equipping them with the wide spectrum of practical skills essential to Sport Rehabilitation. The course has a strong focus on practical skills and competences and all students must complete a minimum of 400 hours of clinical placement experience; a requirement directly linked to (BASRaT) accreditation and is delivered in person, on campus*.
We have placement opportunities with sport rehabilitation clinics, University based and local sports teams and teams further afield for students who are prepared to travel. As part of the course students will complete a recognised advanced trauma care qualification (Level 2) that is endorsed by the Faculty of Pre-Hospital Care, Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. This qualification is a requirement stated by BASRaT and will serve to provide students with additional knowledge and skills that will be of great benefit while completing the Professional Clinical Practice module and for their working careers.
All applicants will be required to complete an application form (including a personal statement) and will be expected to attend an interview.
Applicants for the MSc in Sport Rehabilitation are expected to satisfy the following requirements:
A good honours degree (normally 2.1 or above) in Sports Rehabilitation, Sports Therapy, Physiotherapy, Osteopathy, Strength and Conditioning, Sport and Exercise Science and Podiatry.
Exceptional entry routes may be available to applicants with significant and relevant industry experience.
As a Graduate Sport Rehabilitator (GSR) you will be an autonomous healthcare practitioner specialising in musculoskeletal management, exercise based rehabilitation and fitness.
The course is designed to achieve BASRaT accreditation and students who complete the accredited MSc programme will be eligible to apply for registration with BASRaT, which is the professional body that oversees and regulates the practice of Sport Rehabilitators and Trainers in the UK. The 400 clinical placement hours required for BASRaT membership are included in the Professional clinical practice module, and this will provide students with the opportunity to use a problem-solving approach to sports injury management in the working environment. Through exposure and immersion in the professional environment the student’s professional autonomy, accountability and evidence-based practice will be enhanced to meet the industry standards and needs.
