BSc (Hons) Sports and Exercise Therapy

Course Overview

Our Sport and Exercise Therapy degree course will give you the skills to work with a range of individuals, using evidence-based practice to bring them back to optimal levels of fitness and performance. You're likely to find yourself working pitch-side, dealing with a range of emergencies, behind the scenes, helping athletes recover from injury, and also advising on how to train for optimum performance. But there are opportunities outside of professional sport too. Our course recognizes broader concerns about low levels of physical activity, leading to poor health and increased susceptibility to injury. We are all living longer, and with that, we need professionals to help support an increasing range of ages and not always working in the sports environment. There is an emerging and urgent need for qualified healthcare professionals to work with different groups or individuals in rehabilitation and exercise referral. This means you, as a sports therapist, will be busy when you graduate!
