Sport Rehabilitation (Hons) University of Hull

Overview

Sport Rehabilitators work with patients or athletes with a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, whether it’s managing or treating a long-term medical issue or overseeing their recovery from a shorter term injury.

With the Sport Rehabilitation (Hons) programme offered by University of Hull , you’ll therefore need to have the confidence to act with independent autonomy towards your patient’s care when necessary, as well as the ability to work with other healthcare professionals, so a thorough grounding in the likes of physiology, psychology, biomechanics, and strength and conditioning is essential.

Our expertise in these areas is illustrated by our collaborations with FIFA, the International Olympic Committee and the World Anti-Doping Agency and you'll also benefit from having industry-standard facilities right here on campus to develop your skills.

You’ll also spend a minimum of 400 hours on clinical placement gaining real-world experience, with our partners including professional sports clubs such as Hull City, Hull FC and Hull KR, as well as private practitioners.

You could even develop your experience at the University's Health, Injury and Performance (HIP) Hub. This student-led clinic offers appointments to real patients from the local community and gives you the opportunity to put your knowledge into practice by overseeing their assessment, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation as part of your degree.

Future prospects

• You’ll graduate with clinical skills in the prevention, assessment and management of neuro-musculoskeletal injuries.

• Our students go on to work with sports clubs at all levels, in the military, in private practice and with the NHS. Others find their professional skills are sought by employers across the graduate job market.

• Our careers team will be on-hand to give you expert advice and training, and you’ll have the chance to network with a wide range of employers throughout your degree as part of our annual Student Thesis Conference.
