MPhil Sports Therapy

Within our multidisciplinary School of Sport, Rehabilitation and Exercise Sciences, we offer research supervision in all areas of staff expertise in sports therapy and related areas. As a research student at Essex, you’ll work at the heart of our internationally acknowledged and well-connected research community. Our School of Sport, Rehabilitation and Exercise Sciences offers an environment with an excellent reputation for research and teaching. A unique feature of our School is that many of our staff work with local National Health Service (NHS) Trusts and other local health agencies, which enhances our grasp of the contemporary links between academic research, the major issues of the day and practice.

The aim of undertaking your MPhil is to train as an independent researcher who can critically assess other research work and have a comprehensive knowledge of at least one area.

Our graduates go on to a range of careers. We currently have graduates working in both clinical and management positions in local trusts, hospitals and care organisations, as well as in local and county councils. Others work in biomedical laboratories and in the biotechnology industry, both in research and development, and in sales.
