Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Sport Rehabilitation

Program Overview

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 athletes, players and sports participants of all abilities.
  • 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?

  • BSc(Hons) Sport Rehabilitation is accredited by the British Association of Sport Rehabilitators and Trainers (BASRaT) so you can register with them once you graduate.
  • 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's elite athletes in our Glenside 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 and physiotherapy.
  • Complete a pitch-side first-aid qualification, as a valuable extra certification for working with sports teams.
  • Register with BASRaT after passing your first year, so you can start practising as a sports massage therapist.
  • Spend at least 400 hours on placements, working with elite sports medical teams, sports injury clinics, sports clubs, fitness centres and rehabilitation units, putting you in a strong position for future employment.
  • We are committed to providing our students with a diverse range of learning opportunities, including this intensive rehabilitation day we spent at St George's Park. Please note that external learning experiences may vary.

Where can it take me?
