MSc Sport Injury Rehabilitation

Designed for physiotherapists, sports therapists, sports rehabilitators, chiropractors, osteopaths, and other allied health professionals, this University of Salford master's programme develops advanced knowledge and practical skills in sports injury rehabilitation and prevention. Core modules cover the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries and injury prevention and performance management, with students also completing an independent dissertation. The programme aligns with competencies recognised by the International Federation of Sports Physiotherapists and the English Institute of Sport.

Delivered through a blended learning approach, the course combines on-campus workshop sessions — covering practical, seminar, and keynote content — with online theoretical resources, enabling flexible study. It is available full-time over one year or part-time over three years, with exit awards at Postgraduate Certificate and Postgraduate Diploma level also available. Notably, it was the first exercise rehabilitation master's in Europe to receive recognition from the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). The programme is delivered by the University of Salford's School of Health and Society, with teaching from specialists including practitioners recognised by the English Institute of Sport.
