NEW SEARCHSports medicine is a type of medicine which deals with physical fitness and the treatment and prevention of health issues related to physical activity. Professionals in this field work with athletes to optimise performance, prevent injuries and provide rehabilitation. Master's level studies in sports medicine in the UK often requires an undergraduate degree in medicine or an allied health subject, and some programmes may ask for prior experience in physical healthcare.
You’ll cover topics such as musculoskeletal anatomy, biomechanics, exercise physiology, and the medical aspects of sports performance. Students delve into diagnostic techniques, injury prevention strategies and rehabilitation protocols specific to athletes in various types of sport.
Postgraduate sports medicine courses are popular and widespread, and there are 49 courses offered at 26 universities across the UK.
Studying a sports medicine MSc programme provides a comprehensive and hands-on educational experience, where you’ll gain an in-depth knowledge of sports-related injuries, advanced diagnostic tools and evidence-based treatment. Assessment varies from course to course, but generally involves a mix of coursework and exams.
Sports medicine programmes often align with the values of professional bodies like the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES) or the British Association of Sport Rehabilitators and Trainers (BASRaT), ensuring a curriculum that meets industry standards. You can register as a student member of these institutions and once you graduate, you’ll be well-equipped for diverse career paths, including roles as sports physicians, physiotherapists or strength and conditioning specialists.
