There is a high practical component within the programme and students will have the chance to build a 200 hour clinical placement portfolio. This may include working within the Sports Injury Clinic, pitch side cover, local professional, and amateur teams, and in the community at sporting events both locally and across the country. Students will be expected to contribute to this process by obtaining placements local to them in semester three with assistance from the staff.
