Skills

Make a difference to human lives with a degree in sports therapy.

This programme is aimed at students wanting to become Sports Therapists. A Sports Therapist, who is a Member of The Society of Sports Therapists, is an Allied Health Professional who has the knowledge, skills and ability to:

  • Assess individuals for a range of conditions and injuries.
  • Evaluate various on field scenarios and administer appropriate management (including basic life support) and return to activity decisions for acute trauma. 
  • Aid in return to sport and enhance overall performance.
  • Devise sport-specific programmes to prepare athletes for sport participation and implement protocols to reduce the likelihood of injury.
  • Refer to other healthcare professionals where appropriate.



Learning

Experience a dynamic, contemporary curriculum in state-of-the-art facilities.

In Year 3, you’ll have the chance to shape your own studies by conducting research on a self-selected topic. This enables you to explore and develop current knowledge in a chosen area of sports therapy, or sports and exercise science before you graduate.

Working in both small groups and individually, you’ll enjoy a mix of lectures and practicals as you work through progressive modules, including:

  • Biomechanics analysis and movement

These include:

  • online tests
  • written examinations

You’ll leave Roehampton with an in-depth understanding of both the theory and the hands-on applications of biomedical science, ready to take the next step.
