Study Details: MSc 1 year FT, 3 years PT
Following the London Olympic and Paralympic Games, interest in sport and exercise in the UK has increased significantly. As professionalism and participation in sport increases, those working in the field require a diverse set of skills. Our course will enable you to use science and medicine to help top athletes reach their physical peak and aid the general population in maintaining healthy exercise lifestyles.
You’ll gain practical expertise that will allow you to assess, treat and support individuals from a variety of sporting disciplines. For example you will understand the process of an injury audit in order to identify risks, and learn how to implement an evidence-based treatment plan that minimises the chance of re-injury or illness.
With a focus on the medical side of treatment, you’ll develop a comprehensive knowledge of pathophysiology, biomechanics and sports specific clinical reasoning, allowing you to accurately evaluate and attend to injuries that have occurred. You will study rehabilitation strategies, return to play assessments and explore the emergent field of prehabilitation, meaning you can prevent as well as treat injuries.
With access to both our Health and Carnegie faculties – including modern science and rehab labs, and sport facilities – you’ll be empowered to take a holistic view of an individual’s sporting health, regardless of age or competitive level.

You could go on to work for a professional or amateur sports club, a national governing body, the NHS or as a self-employed practitioner within a private sports clinic. If youre already working in the field, the knowledge youll gain will allow you to take on more responsibility and improve the health and performance of both recreational and professional athletic populations.
