Bachelor of Science (Hons) Athletic Therapy and Exercise Rehabilitation

Our Bachelor of Science in Athletic Therapy and Exercise Rehabilitation is a four-year programme that equips learners with the knowledge and clinical skills to successfully diagnose, manage, and treat injuries in high-performance athletes, recreational exercisers, and the general public.

Sport and exercise are critical for health and performance and there is high demand for graduates with the ability to deliver rehabilitation at all levels of sport and physical activity. The programme provides training in contemporary diagnostic and therapeutic techniques.

The first two years provide the core foundation of the degree, including anatomy, physiology, and musculoskeletal assessment while the last two years develop clinical skills through student-led clinics, a work placement, and a clinical research project.

There is a strong focus on standards of professional practice. Programme accreditation by ARTI (Athletic and Rehabilitation Therapy Ireland) is pending, which will enable students in the final year to sit an examination to qualify as a Certified Athletic Therapist (CAT).
