BSc Hons Sports and Exercise Therapy

BSc (Hons) Sports and Exercise Therapy
2
Rationale

• There is a national drive to improve health and
  the number of people participating in sports and
  exercise at all levels continues to increase.
  This causes an increase in demand on health care
  practitioners who may not be best equipped to
  meet the needs of sports participants
• Current physiotherapy pre-registration education
  and training is largely focussed on the needs
• of the NHS, preparing physiotherapists to
• work across a broad scope of practice.

3

• The curricula for sports therapy courses enables
  more focused study related to a narrower, more
  defined scope of practice in sport.
• The Faculty of Health and the Carnegie Faculty of
  Sport and Education form natural partners for the
  development and delivery of a sports therapy
  programme.
