You can develop your experience with our student-led clinics, University sports teams and external competitions, such as the London Marathon.

Our career-based assessment methods also compliment your placement opportunities. These include sports massage clinics, written laboratory reports and creating informative leaflets for athletes.

There’s plenty of opportunities to make new friends. You’ll peer review each other’s work, travel together for placement opportunities and get to join the societies which interest you.

When you graduate, you’ll join our course community of well-respected alumni, trusted to keep amateur and elite athletes on the pitch.
