Student Profile

Ronjan Bhattacharya

'The MSc Sport and Exercise Medicine was strongly recommended to me from previous alumni, all who now work in elite sport.'

This is a part-time, distance-learning course, although there are residential weeks at the University. The course covers all the important aspects of SEM. The distance-learning bearing allows you to manage your own time, and fit study in around full-time work.

There is a lot of online content, and the course tutors are all experts in their fields. There are opportunities to complete pre-hospital care courses and the OSCE's really help focus your SEM specific examination skills.'

I would definitely recommend the MSc Sport and Exercise Medicine at the University of Bath, particularly to Junior Doctors with an interest in SEM. It will help you develop a broad knowledge base in the subject, whilst helping you develop skills for working in sport at any level.
