  • Overview

    This is an exciting time for medical practitioners who wish to work in sports medicine. The awarding of the Olympics to London in 2012 and the Commonwealth Games to Glasgow in 2014 have led to an increase in awareness of this area of clinical practise. The MSc in Sports Injury Management has been designed to address the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required by a health professional wishing to pursue a career in sports medicine. The aim of the course is to enhance your understanding of the management of sports injuries from diagnosis, through rehabilitation to return to sport. In addition, this course aims to give you the opportunity to enhance your analytical, evaluative and assessment skills to help reach your personal and professional potential.
