BSc (Hons) Sport Rehabilitation and Conditioning

Sarah: So our undergraduate courses are accredited degrees by the Sports Therapy Organization and British Association of Sport Rehabilitation and Athletic Trainers. Both of the programs are very similar in terms of their context. We try and engage a really practical aspect to it. So we try and get the students involved from year one with sports massage, with soft tissue techniques. We encourage them then to be looking at placement opportunities and we've got a massive array of different placements, organized placements with professional teams with recreational athletes. We've got a fully operational sports injury clinic in Sports Centre as well. So it gives them that real exposure to the public as well as supporting that with the theory behind the independence.

Helena: I chose Marjon because the facilities for this course are second to none. Also, from a sports point of view, the facilities onsite are really incredible. Not a lot of universities offer so many facilities on campus as well. And I liked the size of the uni. We've been offered loads of placements this year as first years, which is amazing. It allows you to, it teaches you things that you can't learn in the clinic. It's like really important, especially for your employability outside, because you can be really good at academic work, but if you want to work or succeed in this course, or even in this career, you need to have really good experience treating people, different pathologies, different populations. So it's really important to get that hands on practice with people. The great thing about this uni is that whatever year you're in, you're always meeting people. Also, they have so many student nights for people, so the social life is really good. And you're just with, it's like a family. I think that's one thing that Marjon really has just due to the size of the campus. Everyone knows everyone and it's just really good fun. You make some really good friends.

Laura: For me from where I'm from, I'm from more of the countryside, the smaller areas. I'm not used to big cities. So being on a campus this size, and it's really lovely, you get to know everyone. I've already gotten to know people from the years above me on the same course. Everyone is so lovely. It just felt right. And due to it being a sports uni, I love my sport too much. I've played lacrosse, basketball, hockey, badminton, everything I could try. And with all the facilities on site and makes it so much more easier.

Rebecca: I would definitely say come and study at Marjon. It's probably been one of the best decisions that I've made. I really enjoy it here. You know, all the lecturers are all really helpful. So there's like a lot of support sort of academically. And then you've got, you know, student support and things that side where they help with like financial problems or, you know, problems at home or anything that might be happening off campus. So, yeah. So, if anyone's kind of debating between Marjon and on a different university, I would definitely say for the personal touch, come here.
