This course provided me with the best start to my professional career as a graduate sport rehabilitator. It gave me excellent placement opportunities with premier league football clubs and private specialist musculoskeletal clinics that allowed me to make professional contacts throughout my time studying. My first clinical role after graduating included working with premier league football club, Nottingham Forest FC (who I still work with now after two years). I have also had the opportunity to work in private clinical practice treating a range of athletes and conditions... This is a great yet challenging course, that readily prepares you for the clinical working world.
