BSc (Hons) Sports Rehabilitation
This two-year BSc (Hons) Sports Rehabilitation course draws on QMU’s rich and highly respected teaching expertise within the field of health and physiotherapy, and provides the training needed to pursue a career as a Graduate Sports Rehabilitator.
It is the only accredited Sports Rehabilitation degree in Scotland and is delivered in partnership with Edinburgh College or City of Glasgow College. This unique degree offers an articulation route for students who have already achieved an HND Sports Therapy at one of these two colleges.

- In the Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2022, we are ranked in the top 20 UK universities for subjects allied to medicine (19th out of 82).
On completion of this course you will:
- Be able to apply for registration with BASRaT (British Association of Sports Rehabilitators and Therapists) and upon graduation practise as a Sports Rehabilitator.
- Be able to confidently deliver safe, effective and person-centred sports rehabilitation care on graduation.
- Become part of a community of learners, working collaboratively with lecturers, clinical staff, service users and other students on a transformational journey towards registration.

Physical activity is considered an essential component of a healthy lifestyle. The positive effects of physical activity on physical and mental wellbeing are well established. Sport and physical activity also, however, carry some inherent injury risk. Graduate Sports Rehabilitators (GSR) are musculoskeletal specialists who use skills and knowledge of exercise, movement and manual therapies in order to diagnose, prevent and rehabilitate musculoskeletal injuries.
This course will allow you to develop a broader understanding of the prevention and management of injury and disease in an exercise and physical activity context.
The course recognises that sport includes all forms of physical activity which may be either casual, organised, or at a professional, competitive level. Activity is undertaken to improve physical fitness and mental wellbeing, to develop social relationships or to perform at a professional level and obtain results in competition. Therefore you will work with a range of clients from professional sportspeople to those solely undertaking sport for personal and enjoyment reasons. This could include special populations such as older adults, disabled people, people with a chronic disease and children.
The overarching aim for the BSc (Hons) Sports Rehabilitation is to produce graduates who are skilled, resilient, autonomous, collaborative, critical and reflective problem solvers, who can make a positive contribution to the health and wellbeing of individuals and of society.
This course enables you to convert an appropriate existing qualification into a degree and is equivalent to years three and four of an honours degree. You will complete a range of modules each year as outlined.
