Course Summary

Our Sports Therapy MSc is a conversion degree designed for Sports Scientists and similar graduates who wish to learn, develop and apply evidence-based clinical skills to a therapy setting. You will learn how to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal injuries and develop practical and clinical skills. On completing the course, you will be eligible for membership of The Society of Sports Therapists (SST), which gives you licence to practice as a sports therapist. London Metropolitan University is proud to have been one of the first Universities in the UK to develop this ground-breaking degree. The course answers the growing demand for professionals with sports-specific knowledge by equipping you with the tools necessary to become a professional sports therapist. Following a full set of competencies set out by the SST, this MSc focuses on developing your ability to diagnose through assessment and examination, treat and rehabilitate musculoskeletal injuries or dysfunctions. You will develop exceptional practical and clinical decision-making skills, including injury prevention and rehabilitation techniques with the aim to return individuals to full participation in their sporting and physical activities. You will be required to build a portfolio of 200 supervised hours as part of your placement module. A number of these hours will be undertaken in our onsite student-led Sports Injury Clinic, under the supervision of a staff member who is a fully qualified Graduate Sports Therapist. This module will allow you to meet the requirements for SST accreditation, as well as create opportunity for employability.
