Students who are passionate about pursuing a career as a sports rehabilitation professional but do not have the required qualifications for direct entry then the Integrated Foundation Year offers a supportive alternative route into Higher Education.
On this four year degree, students will learn to prevent, examine and treat sports-related injuries whilst developing the skills to become an independent learner and practitioner. They will undertake a minimum of 400 hours of work experience, with opportunities including supporting runners taking part in the Brathay 10 marathons in 10 days event and the University of Cumbria's sports injury clinics.
Students will receive knowledge and insight from industry-sourced professionals and have access to facilities including rehabilitation clinic, strength and conditioning room and biomechanics and physiology laboratories. Industry links, including top-flight football teams, will help fast track their job hunt.
The foundation year will help students on their way to achieving this full degree, accredited by both BASRaT and CIMSPA and designed to give them the industry knowledge, skills and employment prospects for them to kick start their career as an accredited professional.
