About

Our BSc Sports Therapy course is designed to shape the next generation of sports therapists poised to make a difference. It gives you the applied knowledge and skills to become a sports therapist with the confidence and competence to thrive in any professional setting.

Our course has a significant practical component, blended with classroom and experiential learning. You study topics such as:

injury prevention
injury assessment
injury treatment and management
injury rehabilitation
underpinning principles in physiology, psychology, biomechanics and nutrition
clinical reasoning and evidence-based practice

You will gain between 200 and 250 hours of hands-on experience through our Sports Therapy Clinic and extensive network of external placements at various sports clubs, teams, and multidisciplinary clinics. This will help you hone your craft, develop your (inter)personal skills, apply your academic knowledge and boost your professional prospects. You can gain more real-world experience at our renowned Human Performance Unit, where you can work with performance scholars, students, staff and members of the public. Sports Therapy students have access to a £250 bursary for external placement travel expenses.

Being part of our School of Sport, Rehabilitation and Exercise Sciences you join a community focused on sports and exercise science, sports therapy, sports performance and coaching, sport and exercise psychology and physiotherapy. Our interdisciplinary team of scientists and practitioners help you understand the role of physiology, psychology, biomechanics, and nutrition in sports therapy. We bring together our internationally-recognised research, share knowledge, and enhance placement and vocational opportunities for our students and graduates.
