BSc (Hons) Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation with Foundation Year is a sport and exercise science degree focused on injury management, human physiology, and rehabilitation practices. Core topics include Research Methods, Project Management, Communication & Writing, and Critical & Analytical Thinking.
