Sports Therapy

UK University

Overview

Sports Therapy is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a two year higher national diploma, which carries into the final year of a degree.

Teaching in Sport and Exercise Sciences combines laboratory physiology with applied coaching or management work.
