Whether you've studied medicine, physiotherapy or have a strong clinical background in musculoskeletal health (MSK), our Sports and Exercise Medicine MSc allows you to specialise in managing sports injuries and illnesses, explore the relationship between exercise and health, and get real-life experience in the field.

At Nottingham, you'll learn anatomy through prosection, in our dedicated dissection room. Further your understanding through surface anatomy and the use of medical imaging. Take an evidence-based approach to sports injury management, both acute and chronic. And explore the public health aspect of physical activity.

Gain pitch-side and clinical experience through placements at real sporting events at University level and with professional teams. You’ll develop your immediate and acute care skills and learn how to identify sporting injuries and illnesses. You’ll learn through practical teaching led by consultant Sports and Exercise Medicine doctors and physiotherapists.

An advanced degree from Nottingham enables you to learn the science that underpins the practice of sports and exercise medicine and gives you the pitch-side skills needed to progress into a variety of sports medicine based careers.
