Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: BC96

Here's what Bristol, UWE says about its Sport Rehabilitation course.

Hit the ground running as a sport rehabilitator, on this British Association of Sport Rehabilitators and Trainers-accredited course.

Why study sport rehabilitation? Sport rehabilitation focuses on understanding, preventing and treating sports and exercise-related injuries and musculoskeletal conditions.

As a Sport Rehabilitator, you'll play a vital role in supporting people of all ages and all backgrounds to maintain their health and fitness and recover from injury. In addition you could work in a variety of settings including the NHS, Ministry of Defence, Private Practice, Sport and more.

Having up-to-date skills and knowledge will put you in a strong position for securing work in this varied and dynamic field.

Why UWE Bristol? During the course, British Association of Sport Rehabilitators and Trainers (BASRaT) student members may apply for malpractice insurance upon successful completion of the Sport Rehabilitation Practice 1 module for a small fee. The policy allows students to practice the soft tissue massage techniques gained on the module autonomously. Progressively, soft tissue competencies developed in modules Sport Rehabilitation Practice 2 and 3 can be added to the policy.

Combining university-based experience with extensive placement experience, you'll learn how to provide safe and effective care to people suffering injury, illness or disease related to sports and musculoskeletal conditions.

Explore good professional practice and study the academic subjects that underpin it.

Gain first-hand experience of providing injury assessment and management services to patients in both clinical and sports-based environments.

Provide services to local sports teams and clubs, and UWE Bristol's elite athletes in our Glenside Sports Injury Clinic.

Learn to use the latest resistance equipment for rehabilitation and performance enhancement.

Engage with practising graduate sport rehabilitators, sport dietitians, strength and conditioning coaches, physiotherapists and academic tutors working at the forefront of sport rehabilitation.

Complete a pitch-side first-aid qualification, as a valuable extra certification for working with sports teams.

Complete a minimum of 400 hours clinical placement experience, across a variety of sport and healthcare settings. With opportunities to explore working with multidisciplinary medical teams within sport, private and public healthcare, occupational and specialist rehabilitation settings.

Where can it take me? Graduate sport rehabilitators are in demand across the UK and due to the new International Agreement, can now work internationally.

You could work in a range of sports and health care settings including, the NHS, Ministry of Defence, Private Practice, Sport, specialist rehabilitation settings and more.

Some graduates set up in private practice, or go on to postgraduate study.
