Course summary

Our BSc Sports Therapy course is designed to shape the next generation of sports therapists poised to make a difference. Our course provides you with 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 will 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 will join a community focused on sports and exercise science, sports therapy, sports performance and coaching, sport and exercise psychology and physiotherapy. Our inter-disciplinary team of scientists and practitioners will 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.

We offer you one of the best student experiences around. You experience a lively, informal environment with many possibilities to pursue your own interests.

Study abroad

Your education extends beyond the university campus. We support you in expanding your education through offering the opportunity to spend a year or a term studying abroad at one of our partner universities. The four-year version of our degree allows you to spend the third year abroad or employed on a placement abroad, while otherwise remaining identical to the three-year course.

Placement year

As well as the 200-250 hours of placement you will go as part of the course, you can spend your third year on a placement year with an external organisation before returning to complete your final year. These placements are usually with sports teams or clubs and provide the opportunity for you to apply your academic knowledge in a practical working environment and develop your personal skills.
