Course summary
This degree builds on the industry-recognised HNC/D programmes. All first year entrants will start on the HNC and the entry requirements are therefore for this programme. Successful completion will allow you to progress to the second year of the HND. Following achievement of the HND, you can progress to the third year of the degree. Applicants already holding a relevant HNC qualification can apply for direct entry to the second year. When completing your application make sure you choose year two. Applicants already holding a relevant HND qualification can apply for direct entry to year three, again where this is the case please make sure you choose year three when completing your application. Supportive and solutions-focused, accomplished sports therapists can mean the difference between success and failure for athletes at professional, amateur, and recreational levels. Combine scientific knowledge and practical skills to develop detailed plans for the maintenance and improvement of sporting performance, and learn how to tailor your support to help your clients avoid, treat, and plan for post-injury rehabilitation of injuries. Access excellent sports facilities on-campus, train with our expert team of therapists and rehabilitation professionals, and reference your theoretical training during real-life practices on work placements.
