Sport Rehabilitation

Preparing for Learning in Higher Education

This module is designed to give you the best possible start to your university studies, making sure you have all the essential skills you need to succeed. Through lectures and workshops we will teach you how to write in an academic style, how to find quality sources, how to reference work, culminating in writing up a mini-research project.

Group Challenge (Sciences)

In a group, you'll formulate questions that can be tested by scientific investigations and take part in weekly workshops with academics.

Foundation in Data Analysis

Develop a strong foundation in data collection and analysis. This module will introduce you to qualitative and quantitative data and how to analyse it; the collection of primary and secondary data; the production of high quality graphics; and report writing.

Introduction to Biological Sciences 1

This module covers basic knowledge on cells and biological molecules and how they are connected to the function of major organ systems in animals, plants and humans. The main topics are cell structure, exchange and transport, the genetic code, microbiology and energy processes.

Introduction to Sport, Health and Exercise Science

Module information coming soon. 

Foundation Maths Skills

This module delivers core mathematics skills at level two and three to give a solid basis for future studies. You will study the following topics: manipulation of numerical data and converting between different units of measurement; exponentials and logarithms; and standard form and problems involving ratio, proportion and percentages.

Foundation Mathematics 1

This module delivers core mathematics skills to build a solid basis for future studies. You will study the following topics: factors, multiples, indices, fractions and standard form; algebra, linear and quadratic equations; averages and spread; functions, exponentials and logarithms; and right angled triangles and trigonometry.

Foundation Mathematics A

You will study pure mathematics topics, including proof, algebra, trigonometry, differentiation, integration, exponentials, logarithms, sequences and series. The applied topic is probability and statistics.

Human Anatomy

This module introduces you to the human anatomy in detail. You’ll explore topics including: the structure of the human skeleton, major landmarks, and joints and classification.

Conducting Science in Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation

A solid grounding in to the scientific practice underlying the subject. It explores and critiques how data is collected and analysed.

Introduction to Musculoskeletal Injuries and Assessment

This module provides a comprehensive overview of the skills and techniques required for effective clinical assessment of the musculoskeletal system. As well as introduce the concepts of clinical reasoning, the experience of pain and common assessment approaches as they relate to the Graduate Sport Rehabilitator’s (GSR’s) practice.

Human Physiology

Explore topics including the circulatory system, blood and cardiac and skeletal muscles; the nervous system; reproduction; respiration; the gastro-intestinal system; and the endocrine system.

Therapeutic Interventions

Gain an understanding of the rationale behind therapeutic modalities, including current knowledge of the healing process at the cellular level and analgesia.

Introduction to Exercise and Training

Through a mix of both theoretical and practical sessions, you'll develop your knowledge and experience of a number of different exercise and training modalities that a strength and conditioning coach could utilise in an effort to affect and improve performance. This module will also help you to develop as a coach, explaining the principles of good coaching, communication and delivery to a diverse range of athletes and non-athletes alike.

Clinical Skills

The module will allow students to demonstrate competency in skills, such as special testing & peripheral and spinal joint mobilisation. 

Professional Practice

Get to grips with the professional standards set by the British Association of Sport Rehabilitators and Trainers (BASRaT) and how these interact with working practices. 

Research Methods

Prepare and complete a small action research project to develop skills that will help you across your studies. It's hands-on learning about research methodology, ethical approval, data analysis and formulating research questions.

Functional Rehabilitation

Explore the physiological principles that underpin a range of exercise-based techniques used extensively within injury rehabilitation. 

Advanced Rehabilitation and Conditioning

This module will deliver an in-depth analysis of the pathway that will assist in returning athletes to their competitive best following injury. Students will learn and understand the requirements of various sports and the demands placed upon the athletes who participate. Theoretical content will explore the late-stage requirements that are essential in both restoring athletes to their competitive best, but also maintaining injury-free status upon their return.

Advancing Clinical Skills

Advancing Clinical Skills builds on previous modules by allowing students to demonstrate a comprehensive musculoskeletal assessment and begin to apply appropriate treatment techniques. The module's timing is essential as it will prepare students with some Level 5 guidance to become the autonomous practitioners required in your final year.

Dissertation

Choose a topic you are passionate about and make an original contribution to research by designing, carrying out, and delivering a 10,000-word thesis. Over the course of your final year you will conduct independent research, supported by an academic supervisor.

Neurodynamics

​This module introduces you to the central and peripheral nervous systems in health and disease, and their inter-relationships with musculoskeletal pathologies. 

Management of Exercise and Physical Activity on Health and Disease

This module aims to provide an understanding of the challenges that the UK faces with public health concerns. As specialists in the prescription and application of exercise for the improvement of health, this makes the Graduate Sport Rehabilitator the ideal professional to meet the needs of these patients. At the end of the module, students will demonstrate autonomy in exercise prescription and management for populations with health issues and disease.

Interdisciplinary Considerations in Sport, Exercise, and Rehabilitation Science

This module is part of a shared curriculum across multiple Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Science programmes, bringing together students with a range of knowledge and skills in their distinct discipline areas and teaching them to apply this in an interdisciplinary context.

You'll work collaboratively to problem  solve in real-world scenarios and learn to recognise where individuals with other experiences and skills may be better suited to deal with specific issues. This module mirrors the professional environment outside of academia, where professionals in the field of athletic care operate both independently (as autonomous practitioners) and collaboratively (within interdisciplinary teams) in accordance with relevant governing bodies such as BASES, BASRaT and the SENR.

Advancing Professional Practics

This module is a culmination of the spiral curriculum throughout the Sport Rehabilitation Programme. The module will allow students to demonstrate competency in areas that are relevant to their future employment within the field of Sport Rehabilitation.

Students will explore the professional guidelines of the British Association of Sport Rehabilitators (BASRaT) in depth so they have the knowledge and skills to conform to the laws that govern healthcare, particularly those that relate to Sport Rehabilitation practice; in addition to this, they will understand the consequences of violating the laws that govern healthcare, particularly those that relate to Sport Rehabilitation practice.
