    In Depth

    What will I study?

    Year 1 gives you a solid grounding in the disciplines relating to sports therapy. It will develop fundamental knowledge and skills in subject areas such as anatomy and physiology, kinesiology, exercise therapy and injury assessment and treatment.

    In Year 2, as well as building on your specific sports therapy skills, you will look further at the underpinning scientific principles in sports therapy in applied kinesiology and anatomy and physiology. You will have an opportunity to develop your practitioner skills through the sports therapy clinical practice module within our on-site clinical environment.

    Year 3 will require you to use all of your knowledge of sports science and therapy to develop sophisticated sports therapy treatment plans and rehabilitation programmes. You will also build on your understanding of treatment methods and apply your knowledge in a practical sports therapy environment. In addition you will complete a dissertation on an area of sports therapy of your choice.

    How will I study?

    The degree takes a hands-on approach, with practical experience gained in our purpose-built and well-equipped biomechanics, physiology and psychology laboratories and sports therapy clinical areas. You will also have lectures, small group seminars, tutorials, workshops, taught practical sessions and ICT-based learning. For each module you will have a detailed booklet that tells you what sessions are about, what to read and how you will be assessed, as well as offering coursework guidance.

    Students will gain extensive clinical practice experience throughout the programme within our on-site sports therapy clinic in the first two years and within a professional/semi-professional club in the final year of the degree.

    How will I be assessed?

    You will be assessed using practical examinations, clinical portfolios, essays, critical analysis of papers, oral presentations, case studies and independent research.

    Who will be teaching me?

    The teaching team are highly experienced and enthusiastic with a real commitment to teaching and supporting students. Dynamic, friendly and supportive of individual student’s needs, staff are also actively involved in research and consultancy projects that influence the development of sport therapy and which directly feed into your degree.

    A Great Study Environment

    Students engage in sports therapy in the dedicated facilities on campus.All courses in the Department of Sport and Physical Activity place a strong emphasis on practical work, underpinned by outstanding facilities including dedicated biochemistry, biomechanics, performance analysis, physiology and psychology laboratories.

    The performance analysis laboratory provides access to industry-standard software and audio-visual equipment for the analysis of athletic and coaching performance, while the biochemistry laboratory enables you to collect and accurately analyse a wide range of metabolites, using the latest technology, to determine the physiological responses of athletes and others, to a variety of exercise stresses such as running, cycling and rowing.

    There is a dedicated sports therapy clinic, providing a clinical learning environment in which you will gain practical experience with your peers and external clients, as well as a functional rehabilitation centre where bespoke rehabilitation programmes for individuals or small groups can be implemented.

    Additional learning resources include high quality eye-tracking systems in a specialist vision analysis laboratory where you can measure hand-eye coordination, ocular-motor control, reaction times, cognition and other mechanisms associated with visual perception. Cutting edge musculoskeletal assessment tools combine with a dedicated strength and conditioning area in our MSk laboratory where you can assess athletes and implement (p)rehabilitation programmes. Isokinetic dynamometry, electromyography and dynamic balance assessment can all be conducted with immediate transfer to exercise prescription.

    In the Sleep, Exercise and Performance laboratory, you can measure the responses of individuals to sleep, sleep deprivation and changes in the circadian rhythms of a variety of biological processes. This helps to determine the best time to exercise or when individuals need to sleep and recover.

    Complementing the impressive academic facilities, there are £30 million of sport and leisure facilities across 60 acres on campus, including top-of-the-range 3G football and rugby pitches, hockey pitches, tennis courts, a competition-standard athletics track and an athletics field. The University sports centre boasts a 25-metre swimming pool, double sports hall for badminton, basketball, netball and squash, a 100-station fitness suite, aerobics studio and a health suite with sauna and steam rooms.
