Compulsory modules

Basic Science and Regenerative Therapy (15 credits)

The aim of this module is for students to develop an understanding of regenerative medicine.

The Risks of, and Recovery from, Sports and Musculoskeletal Injury - A (15 credits)

The aim of this module is for students to:

  • develop understanding of the nature and severity of a number of types of injury across both sport and non-sport environments, including understanding different types of risk factors (internal / external, modifiable / non-modifiable), as well as recovery strategies post-injuries and return to activity.
  • apply the knowledge gained in analysing risk factors areas, and developing a specific recovery strategy post-injury based on evidence, utilising principals of a staged recover and return to activity/play.

Neuromuscular Function (15 credits)

The aim of this module is to develop an understanding of neuromuscular function from the level of the muscle contractile filaments, through to whole-body human function, encompassing skeletal muscle and tendinous tissues, neural control of muscle contraction and joint mechanics, whilst also gaining practical skills assessing human neuromuscular function.
