Study Details: MSc 1 year full-time, 2 years part-time, 5 years flexible
Develop your knowledge of sports medicine, sports injuries, and exercise medicine on this evidence-based programme, with flexible study options to fit around work and other commitments.
The programme focuses on managing sports medicine and musculoskeletal injuries, and the vital role physical activity plays in preventing and treating chronic disease. You will learn about the prevention, diagnosis, and management of sports injuries and medical conditions in athletes, explore exercise physiology, and take an optional module on team and event medicine or the rehabilitation of sports injuries. All students study research methods, and those on the MSc also develop essential research skills by working on an independent research project.
Both the MSc and PG Dip can be taken full-time in one year, part-time over two years, or via a modular flexible route over up to five years. You can choose to study with us on campus or as a distance learning student with some face-to-face teaching in blocks.
The programme is delivered at the Institute of Sport, Exercise & Health (ISEH), an International Olympic Committee Injury Prevention Research Centre and one of world’s leading institutes for sports and exercise medicine.
