Course summary

Unlock your potential and join a course that will enable you to become a confident sport rehabilitator, equipped with the knowledge, skills, and flexibility to work independently across a range of sporting, health, rehabilitation and exercise environments.

We’re the only Sport Rehabilitation programme at a Russell Group university to be accredited by the British Association of Sport Rehabilitators and Trainers (BASRaT). Combining academic prestige with professional recognition, you’ll develop your clinical neuromusculoskeletal assessment and treatment skills to work with people of all ages to rehabilitate them following injury and/or illness.

We’re committed to developing excellent sport rehabilitators within a supportive, nurturing higher education environment. You’ll work across key areas of injury prevention, health, wellbeing and sport, designing and implementing exercise and rehabilitation programmes. Our innovative, practice-based teaching draws on real-life case studies, diverse teaching methods that mirror real-world sport rehab practice, and collaboration with students from other healthcare disciplines, helping you to thrive academically and clinically.

You’ll put your learning into practice with supervised clinical practice opportunities of at least 400 hours in a range of sporting environments, including high- profile clubs such as Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club, Nottingham Forest FC and Leicester Tigers Rugby Club.

Throughout your studies, you can also gain hands-on experience treating real clients at our University Sports Injury Clinic on campus. In your final year, you’ll have the opportunity to complete a recognised pre-hospital immediate training course.  
 
Upon graduation, you’ll be prepared to take on roles across private practice, the NHS, elite sport and community health.

English language requirements

TestGradeAdditional details
IELTS (Academic)77.0 in reading, listening and speaking and 6.5 in writing As well as IELTS (listed above), we also accept other English language qualifications. This includes TOEFL iBT, Pearson PTE, GCSE, IB and O level English. Check our English language policies and equivalencies for further details. For presessional English or one-year foundation courses, you must take IELTS for UKVI to meet visa regulations. If you need support to meet the required level, you may be able to attend a Presessional English for Academic Purposes (PEAP) course. Our Centre for English Language Education is accredited by the British Council for the teaching of English in the UK. If you successfully complete your presessional course to the required level, you can then progress to your degree course. This means that you won't need to retake IELTS or equivalent.

Contextual admissions

Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.

We consider applicants solely on the basis of their merits, abilities and potential – we use exam grades to prioritise applicants but look at a range of factors and aim to give everyone an equal opportunity to show their achievements.

We understand that background and personal circumstances can have an impact on academic performance at school or college. Applicants who are eligible under our contextual admissions policies may be considered for a reduced contextual offer.
