Master of Sports and Exercise Physiotherapy/Master of High Performance Sport
This double degree empowers physiotherapists to work with athletes and people of all ages, abilities and cultural contexts, in community, elite or high performance sport and exercise settings, in both the private and public sectors.
You will acquire advanced knowledge of normal and pathological human movement relating to sports, exercise, performance, injuries, pathology and disease. You will also better understand how wellbeing relates to performance, and critically analyse, synthesise and apply knowledge using an evidence-informed, person-centred approach to manage sports injuries or other health conditions.
Learn to integrate specialised technical skills with advanced principles and strategies of strength and conditioning, fatigue management and recovery to design, deliver and evaluate meaningful interventions to enhance athlete and team performance and reduce the likelihood and/or duration of injury and illness. This course emphasises the application of knowledge and skills in an ethical manner that promotes the dignity of the individual, athlete or performer.
This double degree is suitable for graduate physiotherapists eligible for registration in their own country, with a minimum two years’ experience post-graduation.
