A mix of self-led and face-to-face learning

Bath is one of the few universities that offers this type of academically recognised course through part-time distance learning. This means you can complete your master's degree alongside your clinical practice.

You’ll also experience face-to-face teaching during our Residential Weeks, which will take place in Bath.

You’ll learn from experts in sports physiotherapy, as well as staff in our wider Department for Health community.

Within the majority of your units, you'll be able to tailor the assignments around your own sports physiotherapy practice. This will help to develop your learning in a way that is relevant to your own career path and aspirations.

The requirements to practise a profession vary from country to country. If you wish to practise your profession outside the United Kingdom, you are advised to confirm that the UK professional qualification you seek is valid in the country in which you are intending to work.
