BSc Sports and Exercise Therapy

The BSc Sports and Exercise Therapy at Coventry University is an undergraduate degree that teaches students the advantages of Sports and Exercise, including the clarity it gives the mind and improvement of overall performance. This course is for students who want to help people stay fit through planning and supervision of sporting activities and exercise.

In this programme, which is accredited by The Society of Sports Therapists (SST), students learn the ways the risk of injury can be reduced, and how to regain an athlete’s momentum back to optimum levels of functional, occupational and sports-specific fitness, regardless of age and ability.

This degree develops students' skills that apply to the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of injury. It also builds critical thinking and relational skills to help graduates provide the best form of therapy through sport and exercise, like badminton, golf, cricket, and yoga. Additionally, graduates can work with professional teams to manage player fitness and provide first-aid care.

At the end of the programme, students will be able to treat injuries, offer consultancy, and administer the most effective sport and exercise methods to clients based on their observations and attention to detail. Learning is through practical sessions, field visits, lectures, tutorials, and seminars. Assessment methods include written practical reports, oral presentations, assignments, reports, examinations, and a final-year project thesis.
