Sports Medicine

Many of our modules have classroom sessions supported with online learning material.

Your module tutors will guide you as to the preparation required for teaching sessions and whilst they will sometimes give specific guidance, at master’s level it’s expected that you take some initiative to read around the session topic, so that you can contribute to classroom discussions.

The emphasis will be on problem-based learning. You’ll use Blackboard, our online learning platform.

Our staff are experienced clinicians and have many years of experience in education. Each staff member is delivering modules within their area of expertise and they’re at the forefront of their field.

In some modules we also bring in experienced, practising clinicians with current expertise in an aspect of the module; this enables us to blend academic expertise, clinical knowledge and current clinical experience and to give you access to people who know about the demands of the current clinical environment.

You’ll be able to consider further educational opportunities such as progressing on to a PhD or Professional Doctorate pathway.

Studying Sports Medicine, you’ll learn essential skills for health and injury screening, assisting in prevention of injury and safe participation in sport.

You’ll also learn advanced trauma management skills enabling you to feel confident in working with a team, an individual athlete or in populations with common medical conditions. You’ll be supported by a member of the Medical School who has worked as a Consultant and Lecturer in Emergency Medicine and instructed on both the European Trauma and the FA AREA course.
