Summary
As well as increasing your theoretical and empirical knowledge within the area, our course comprises core modules that are designed to provide opportunities to enhance your abilities in a range of transferable skills, and also to develop the basic competencies that will aid your personal development should you wish to pursue accreditation in the future, for example with BASES, UKSCA or ISPAS.
The course is taught by an experienced team of tutors who have specialist research interests and publications within the subdiscipline pathways. All teaching has an applied focus, with full use made of the BASES-accredited sports science laboratories.
The above critical elements of teaching excellence and research, combined with the applied practical experience of many of the staff who have worked with national and international athletes and teams, means that during all lectures you will not only be challenged intellectually but will also gain experience and knowledge of how research informs and is informed by practice.
The requirement for an experiential learning placement within the course means that our course provides invaluable practical experience that provides you with the opportunity to apply your knowledge within an applied sporting environment, as well as developing key interpersonal skills while working alongside applied practitioners.
This course is suitable for: (i) students who wish to embark upon a career in the sports medicine and/or sciences domain and who are seeking postgraduate study with the opportunity of supervised experience; (ii) practitioners already working in the field (physical therapists, physiotherapists, doctors, sports rehabilitators, sports therapists, physical/strength and conditioning coach); (iii) those looking to extend their knowledge before moving into the research and academic sectors.
