Sport rehabilitators are practitioners trained in sport and exercise medicine, who work alongside and complement other sports and healthcare professionals. This course aims to educate the future Sport Rehabilitator and Exercise Scientist, with the knowledge, skills and flexibility to work independently in a range of sporting, health, rehabilitation and exercise environments. Graduates will be able to design and implement exercise and rehabilitation programmes to enhance health, wellbeing and performance at recreational, occupational and elite level. For this, students must be able to exercise sound judgement in a variety of rehabilitation and sport performance situations, and be able to evaluate and adapt their approach to meet the needs of the individual client. We believe that your education should be flexible to match your interests and aspirations. In year three we offer two option modules in each semester enabling you to dictate your course of study based on your interests. You will also undertake an exciting community-based module that you can develop in an approved area related to sport, exercise, health or wellbeing. This may be within a charity, school, occupational setting or other community project. Two major themes run throughout the course; one covers the basic tenets of research culminating in a research project, the other includes aspects relating to personal and professional development such as skills for effective management of learning, communication, health and wellbeing policy, sport policy, client records/ethics, personality, behaviour and life-long learning.

Graduate Sport Rehabilitators (GSR's) have a sound knowledge of the fundamentals of Sport Rehabilitation and Exercise Science; experience of relating theory to practice and utilising skills in a practical setting on placements. The Community Module will also demonstrate a commitment and responsibility in promoting health and wellbeing in Society. You will have developed skills in research, and spent considerable time on personal development. GSR's are employed in a range of sport, health and occupational settings. The Ministry of Defence employ GSR’s and many work in private practice, with professional teams, clubs and the leisure industry. There are also opportunities in research and/or teaching.
