Overview

The Sport and Exercise Medicine course from Lancaster University curriculum extends far beyond musculoskeletal health, which is often the main focus of similar courses. At Lancaster you will also explore themes such as respiratory medicine, concussion, behaviour change and community-based physical activity interventions. These topics will help you develop a broad skillset which includes assessing injury recovery, analysing athletic asthma profiles and understanding the impact of concussion.

With a MSc in Sport and Exercise Medicine you can support people to achieve their full potential through exercise and sport participation.

Lancaster is one of only three UK medical schools delivering sport and exercise medicine training at postgraduate level. Study with our internationally renowned team of scientists and clinicians and learn from their latest research discoveries in this fascinating field.

Career opportunities:

In response to the growing need for experts in elite athletic performance, the job market in sport and exercise medicine is expanding. It is also being driven by the demand for professionals who can help prevent and manage health conditions through physical activity and personalised exercise prescription.

This high demand means you will graduate with a range of opportunities ahead of you in settings such as professional and amateur sports teams and organisations, hospitals or primary care clinics, private practices and sports governing bodies.
