1. Welcome and Introduction to FdSc Sports Rehabilitation

Welcome to the FdSc Sports Rehabilitation course. The programme has been running since 2012 and it is intended to develop not only your academic knowledge and skills but also your employability. It was designed to meet local employer need as well as student interest. Assessments for instance are often work related and use live briefs from employers. The programme is validated by Plymouth University and underpinned by the QAA Quality Code.

The programme leader responsible for the course will be Mark Pascoe.

This programme has been designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge base required to work in your chosen specialism or other graduate opportunities. It is also a platform from which you can undertake additional academic and in some instances professional vocational qualifications.

This Programme Quality Handbook contains important information including:

The approved programme specification Module records

Note: the information in this handbook should be read in conjunction with the current edition of the Truro and Penwith Student Handbook available on Digital Campus which contains student support based information on issues such as finance and studying at HE along with the University’s Student Handbook https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/your-university/governance/student-handbook and your Learning, Teaching and Assessment Handbook available on your programme virtual learning environment (Moodle).

demonstrating a breadth of knowledge and understanding.

2. To analyse and evaluate recent developments in sports

rehabilitation and therapy, reflecting the interdisciplinary and multi-

disciplinary nature of sports rehabilitation and therapy.

3. To analyse and evaluate the use and application of sports

rehabilitation and therapy modalities in a range of sporting

environments.

4. To demonstrate skills in practical situations using a range of

appropriate techniques and therapy based equipment.

5. To demonstrate skills in fieldwork looking at a range of sporting

disciplines and applications.

6. To analyse the impact of sports therapy on sporting performance.

7. To evaluate and demonstrate key instructional, learning and

communication skills relevant to employment within the field of

sports rehabilitation and therapy.

8. To demonstrate, understand and reflect upon their own skills in

relation to competencies to meet the needs of employers within

the sports therapy sector.

Brief Description of the Programme

The degree has at its core an understanding of sports therapy related particularly to the disciplines of anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and injury. The programme develops specific practice from this base, into an understanding of sports injury and rehabilitation. Students will develop their understanding of nutrition and exercise in relation to fitness and recovery, and the stage two will culminate in a project which allows students to develop their own interest, while also acquiring and developing skills of research and investigation.
