Teaching and learning

Throughout your degree, you’re expected to study for 1,200 hours per year. That’s based on 200 hours per 20 credit module. And it includes scheduled hours, time spent on placement and independent study. How this time’s divided among each of these varies each year and depends on the course and modules you study.

• Scheduled hours typically include lectures, seminars, tutorials, workshops, and supervised laboratory and studio sessions. The types of scheduled lessons you’ll have depend on the course you study.

• Placement hours typically include time spent on a work placement, studying abroad, or field trips.

• Independent study is the time outside your scheduled timetable, where you’ll be expected to study independently. This typically involves coursework, assignments, reading, preparing presentations and exam revision.

Future Prospects

You’ll graduate with clinical skills in the prevention, assessment and management of neuro-musculoskeletal injuries. You could be eligible to join BASRaT as a full graduate member, practise within the field of sport rehabilitation and use the initials GSR (Graduate Sports Rehabilitator).

The students go on to work with sports clubs at all levels, in the military, in private practice and with the NHS. Some set up their own successful businesses, or choose postgraduate study at PhD level. Others find their professional skills are sought by employers across the graduate job market.
