Student Profile

Zoe Skells

"I was looking for an MSc course that would increase my understanding of the pathology in sporting injuries and expose me to clinical environments. The ASEM course in Nottingham ticked all the boxes for me and was the stand out option of all the courses I saw.

The course itself did not disappoint, there were so many opportunities to broaden your horizons and the staff were truly fantastic - always being there to support you. In addition, the guest lecturers were brilliant, all experts in their fields and very knowledgeable - it was great to pick their brains!

The course was intense and challenging, especially as I didn't come from a clinical background, so there was a steep learning curve for me; but it was rewarding. The best thing is that you get the opportunity throughout to research the topics that are of interest to you, with access to great resources."
