In-depth studies of sports injuries, manual therapy techniques, applied sports biomechanics, and physiology are the focus of the second year of the programme. By the third year, you’ll see that emphasis is placed on advanced and applied aspects of treating and managing sports injuries. Students will be using facilities provided within the University’s Science Centre, which includes state-of-the-art physiology laboratories, therapy treatment rooms, and an expansive sports hall.
