Course Structure
The MSc in Sports and Exercise Medicine can be taken on a full-time basis over one year (September to September) or part-time over two years.
The syllabus is covered by lectures, seminars and practicals, and - for full-time students - it is usually delivered on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The other weekdays are intended for private study, production of written reports and presentations, clinic attendance and research.
You will undertake a research project and prepare a dissertation in the second semester and this work will continue through the summer vacation. The dissertation is submitted by the end of August.
Your work will be assessed by a number of methods including both written and practical examinations, oral presentations, as well as the dissertation.
The part-time course is identical in content to the full-time course, but teaching in Nottingham takes place on one day per week during the semester (Thursdays for courses starting in 2009).
As a part-time student, you will be expected to devote the equivalent of an additional day and a half per week to private study, production of written reports and presentations and research.
Research begins during the first year and continues through the summer into the second year. The dissertation is submitted in May in the second year.
As a full- or part-time student, you may have the option to attend the Soft Tissue Injury Clinics run at Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham, and various other clinics in the region during the course.
For full-time students, clinics will be mainly on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, while for part-time students, they will be on Thursdays (for the 2009 intake).
