Many students are unsure how studying at Masters level may differ from studying as an Undergraduate student. Here’s what you can expect from the MSc Sport Rehabilitation programme:

How will we teach you?

You will be exposed to various teaching methods during your studies. Here are some of the most common approaches we take:

Intensive Days: These sessions are designed to immerse you deeply into specific topics over a short period.
Lectures: Delivered face-to-face, lectures can vary in size, providing you with a blend of traditional and modern teaching formats.
Online Lessons: Delivered asynchronously which means you can work through the lesson at your own pace and revisit any information at a later date.
Practical Sessions and Workshops: Gain hands-on experience in diverse practical settings, crucial for applying theoretical knowledge.
Seminars: Engage in small group discussions to explore topics in a more informal, interactive manner.
Field Work/Placement: Obtain first-hand practical experience working with some of our key professional partners and other healthcare professionals.

How will we assess you?

Just as you will be exposed to a range of teaching methods, you will also be assessed in various ways:

Practicals: Demonstrate your ability to apply theoretical knowledge in different practical settings.
Presentations: Throughout your degree, you will deliver various presentations, including oral, poster, and video-based screencasts.
Coursework: This includes writing essays, lab reports, and portfolio work, reflecting your understanding and analytical skills.
Project Thesis: Similar to your undergraduate dissertation, this is an opportunity to investigate an area of personal interest in depth.

How will we support you?

Within the MSc Sport Rehabilitation programme, we primarily focus on subject and discipline-specific information. However, you will also be assigned an academic member of staff as your Personal Development Tutor (PDT). Your PDT will support you in developing your academic, personal, and professional lives throughout your studies. Here is an overview of the aims and expectations of the PDT programme:

In addition to the support provided by academic staff, the University offers several fantastic support services that you can access:

Student Support: Access a range of services to help you navigate university life.
Study Skills: Enhance your academic skills and strategies for success.
Marjon Futures Career Services: Receive guidance and support for your career development.
Library Information: Utilise the extensive resources and support available in the library.
