Master of Science - Sports Therapy

There is a growing demand for sports therapists in the UK. The MSc Sports Therapy builds on students' sports-related first degree (eg BSc Sport and Exercise Science, BSc Sports Performance and Coaching, or similar). With the state-of-the-art facilities and science-based approach, students will gain the knowledge and skills to become a sports therapist who can practice in various professional settings.

Students will develop an exceptional understanding of the science and research that underpins the practice of sports therapy and cultivate the technical skills to deliver high-quality sports therapy support. Through learning environments with an applied focus, students will have a platform to hone their practical skills, participate in small group discussions and share expertise and knowledge with their peers.

Alongside students' timetabled classes, they will complete between 200 and 250 hours of placement as part of the course. Some of these hours will be in the Sports Therapy Clinic, where students will consult with performance scholars, students, staff, and members of the public, under the guidance and supervision of an experienced sports therapy staff. Students will also be given the opportunity to work with a variety of sports clubs and teams, ranging from recreational to elite levels.
