MSc Sports Medicine - January start

The University of Greater Manchester's Master's in Sports Medicine supports physiotherapists, sport rehabilitators, sports therapists, medical doctors, and physical therapists in developing the core expertise, knowledge, and skills to deliver safe and effective care to those engaging in sport. While studying at our supportive, student-focused, multicultural campus, you can develop high-level proficiency in this discipline, a firm focus on evidence-based practice, and explore exciting areas such as disability sport and physical activity in the management of chronic medical conditions.

You should hold at least an upper second class (2.1) honours degree in a relevant subject; for instance, sport or exercise sciences, exercise physiology, medicine, sports rehabilitation, sports therapy, physiotherapy or physical therapy. Applications from other related professions will be considered on an individual basis. Relevant work experience will confer an advantage.

We’ll be happy to consider your application if you hold a lower second class (2.2) honours degree in one of the above subjects, particularly if you have good relevant professional experience. Additional evidence of your suitability, such as a portfolio of academic work, may be required.

Qualifications gained outside England and Wales will be assessed on an individual basis according to guidance from the University of Greater Manchester’s International Office and the relevant professional body.

If your application is successfully shortlisted, you’ll be required to attend an online interview.

Please note you must have current professional registration (or suitable insurance to practice if your first degree does not attract professional registration).

We'll consider applications where appropriate work experience can be demonstrated in lieu of, or in addition to, the published academic qualifications in line with the University’s Recognition of Prior Experiential Learning (RPEL) procedures.

We take a positive view of what candidates with disabilities can achieve as future healthcare professionals and take seriously our obligation to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that all students with disabilities can successfully complete their studies. All applicants will be assessed up to and including the interview on the basis of the criteria outlined here regardless of any disability. If you declare a disability, we’ll invite you to work with us, the University’s Disability team, clinical colleagues and relevant specialist services (for example, RNIB) to explore how best we can support your studies.
