This program is designed to help participants start foundational training or advance their careers in sports and exercise medicine by strengthening their fundamental understanding of anatomy, exercise physiology, and sports science. It also focuses on building strong research capabilities, hands-on skills, and analytical thinking for musculoskeletal evaluation, rehabilitation, and exercise programming for both healthy individuals and those with medical conditions.
The MSc course is open to graduates from medicine, physiotherapy and a limited number of places are also offered to certified athletic training therapists (Ireland, USA and Canada only) and sports rehabilitation therapists (UK).
Successful medically qualified applicants will hold a level 8 degree at an upper 2nd class honours (2.1) or equivalent GPA level in medicine. For non-EU medical applicants, preference will therefore be given to doctors who have worked in state registered clinical roles in Ireland, UK, or EU for a period of at least 12 months. Those with appropriate clinical experience in athlete/team service provision will be prioritised.
Successful physiotherapy qualified applicants will hold a level 8 degree at an upper 2nd class honours (2.1) or equivalent GPA level in physiotherapy. Applicants must either already hold ISCP, CSP (UK) or EU equivalent state registration as a physiotherapist or provide evidence of commencement of an application process for accreditation.
Applicants must have regular access to a computer with good internet connection. The computer should have both a microphone and camera as all shortlisted applicants will be required to undertake an interview to determine suitability for the course.
