Sports and Exercise Medicine MSc

at University of Nottingham

You'll study a series of core modules that provide you with knowledge and skills in sports medicine, epidemiology, the relationship between physical activity and health, and the management of sports injuries and illnesses.
 

You'll also learn the science that underpins the practice of sports and exercise medicine, together with the pitch-side skills of resuscitation and immediate care, and research skills.
 

The course takes place over three semesters: autumn, spring, and summer. Typically taught modules are delivered in the autumn and spring semesters with the summer used entirely for the research project (although preparation does take place during the autumn and spring semesters). However, this will be dependent on your mode of study.
 

MSc students will take all of the compulsory modules and choose from one of the optional modules for a total of 180 credits.
 

Students taking the Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) cover the same modules but do not take the Project and Dissertation module, for a total of 120 credits.
