This course is for people who want to understand how injuries occur and how to diagnose, treat and rehabilitate them. You'll explore everything from anatomy, and physiology to rehabilitation, soft tissue techniques and clinical skills.
Our course is accredited by The British Association of Sport Rehabilitators (BASRaT), the professional body for Sport Rehabilitators. You will complete a minimum of 400 hours placement to gain important hands-on clinical practice and experience.
Students can choose where to do placements, these maybe be at local sports clubs, private injury clinics, in the University of Kent student led clinic, working pitch-side with the University of Kent Sports teams (before, during and after matches). Students can also gain placement hours conducting pre-season testing with local clubs and volunteering at community events such as marathons, triathlons and cycle rides.
Our expert staff have worked with professional, semi-professional and grass roots sports teams, the NHS, and private clinics, and bring real-world insight to your learning. You’ll use specialist equipment in our teaching clinics, the Strength and Conditioning Lab and the University student led sports injury clinic, and you can work towards extra qualifications like the UK Strength and Conditioning Association (UKSCA) Strength and Conditioning Trainer Award and industry recognised Pre Hospital Immediate Care Trauma qualification.
You’ll graduate with clinical skills, experience, and confidence – ready to support people in returning to sport, activity and good health.
