Course summary
In December 2024, the University of Bolton was granted permission by the Office for Students (OfS) to change its name to the University of Greater Manchester with immediate effect. While we work to update our systems, you may see both names used in the information we provide.
The University of Greater Manchester's BSc (Hons) Sport Rehabilitation with foundation year qualification offers BASRaT-accredited training in preventing, assessing, diagnosing and treating sports and physical activity-related injuries. Based within the excellent facilities of Bolton One, the course provides an exciting array of placement opportunities, including professional sports teams, private clinics and the Ministry of Defence.
Graduate Sport Rehabilitators (GSRs) are in demand due to our increasing participation in sport and exercise and the injuries we inevitably sustain. Sport rehabilitators are trained in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of injuries and are essential across all levels of sport, from amateur to elite. The University of Greater Manchester's BSc (Hons) Sport Rehabilitation with foundation year qualification offers industry-approved training ready for a career working with sportspeople and members of the public. By studying for this British Association of Sport Rehabilitators (BASRaT) accredited honours degree, you can develop essential knowledge and understanding of sports rehabilitation principles and practices while experiencing life at our supportive, student-focused, multicultural campus.
The foundation year is the first year of this degree, offering an excellent grounding in the fundamentals of anatomy, physiology and biomechanics alongside study skills development. It's designed to prepare you for degree-level study.
We focus on equipping you with hands-on practical experience teamed with an invaluable grounding in theory so that you can graduate with a well-rounded skillset. Our dedicated and professionally experienced team will guide you to explore musculoskeletal injury prevention screening, specific exercise therapy, and clinical treatment skills. Extensive practical and laboratory work will help cement your understanding of human anatomy, the biomechanics and physiology of the human body, and the pathology of injury and dysfunction. We also aim to help you develop lifelong learning skills so that you can take ownership of your professional development for the future, maximising your potential for success.
You may gain direct experience on-campus at our Sport and Physical Activity Rehabilitation Centre in Bolton One, as well as through external placements, safe in the knowledge that as a graduate, you'll be eligible to practice as a registered GSR, rehabilitating athletes from injury.
