This module provides the opportunity to learn about an array of injuries typically occurring as a result of sport and exercise. Immediate triage and injury rehabilitation will form an important aspect of the module. Diagnosing and understanding typical sporting injuries is essential for a number of career opportunities related to sport. The module will look to incorporate the latest simmersion technology to provide student with a realistic scenario that they may face within industry.

Assessment – Practical case study. Students enter the room and are presented with an injury scenario. Students need to assess and apply suggested treatment to manage the severity of the injury. This is then supported by a verbal justification of a typical rehabilitation program to support recovery. (LO 1&2)

This module incorporates a tutor-lead lecture programme and practical sessions. Immersion and simulation technology will be utilised to provide cutting edge experience in order to allow students the best learning opportunities and experience. Online learning tools will be utilised to support the delivery of the module, to communicate with students and to provide an area for online submission of assessments. A range of specialist guest lectures will be utilised to ensure effective teaching and learning of specific content.


Formative assessment will be used within the module to provide support for students and to aid academic development.
