Overview

Sport and exercise are critical for health and performance and there is high demand for graduates with the ability to deliver rehabilitation at all levels of sport and physical activity. The Athletic Therapy and Exercise Rehabilitation (Hons) programme at the Atlantic Technological University provides training in contemporary diagnostic and therapeutic techniques.

The first two years provide the core foundation of the degree, including anatomy, physiology, and musculoskeletal assessment while the last two years develop clinical skills through student-led clinics, a work placement, and a clinical research project.

There is a strong focus on standards of professional practice. Programme accreditation by ARTI (Athletic and Rehabilitation Therapy Ireland) is pending, which will enable students in the final year to sit an examination to qualify as a Certified Athletic Therapist (CAT).
