Sports TherapyMSc

You will be required to have:

• a 2:2 honours undergraduate degree (or equivalent) in sports or exercise science (graduates with related degrees or other suitable qualifications will be considered on an individual basis)

This programme is a conversion degree designed for Sports Scientists, and similar graduates, who wish to learn, develop and apply evidence-based clinical skills to a therapy setting. Those who already hold a BSc Sports Therapy degree from a University accredited by The Society of Sports Therapists (SST) are usually not appropriate candidates, as the practical skills taught in a BSc Sports Therapy degree are identical to those taught in this postgraduate degree.

Please note that this course may include working with children and vulnerable adults. As a result, you will be asked to declare any criminal convictions on your application. Having a criminal conviction may not exclude you from joining the course, but we may not be able to facilitate placements for students who have criminal convictions for violent offences or offences against children or vulnerable adults. A criminal conviction may also mean that full professional membership to The Society of Sports Therapists is not possible. If you have any concerns regarding a criminal record, please contact the course leader (see ‘Meet the team’ section below) before applying for the course.

English language requirements

To study a degree at London Met, you must be able to demonstrate proficiency in the English language. If you require a Student visa you may need to provide the results of a Secure English Language Test (SELT) such as Academic IELTS. This course requires you to meet a specific standard listed under the exceptions in our English language requirements.

If you need (or wish) to improve your English before starting your degree, the University offers a Pre-sessional Academic English course to help you build your confidence and reach the level of English you require.

A variety of methods will be used to assess your performance, including literature reviews, seminar presentations, coursework, time-constrained assessments, practicals (including oral examinations) and a dissertation.

If you successfully complete the course you will be eligible for membership of The Society of Sports Therapists (SST), an organisation which strives to increase the levels of care provided for sports and recreational participants. By joining the SST, you will have access to job opportunities as well as Continuing Professional Development (CPD) through exclusive courses, workshops, conferences and other professional events.

Many of our graduates work with professional, semi-professional and amateur sporting institutions. These include football, rugby, ice hockey and basketball teams as well as professional cyclists.

Roles have also been plentiful in other areas of private practice, such as sports therapy and rehabilitation services within health and leisure centres. You’ll also have the option to pursue further research.

If you've already studied your undergraduate degree with us, as a graduate of London Met, you'll be entitled to a 20% discount on any further study with us.
