  This programme offers a unique progression route for students from a variety of backgrounds within the field of exercise rehabilitation to study.

  You’ll conduct research at the National Rehabilitation Centre (NRC), a new 70 bed NHS rehabilitation facilitythat's currently being built near Loughborough as well as at the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre (DMRC) and at Stamford Hall, to provide you with specialist experience within a military setting. You will also be taught at the Queens Medical Centre (QMC) in Nottingham, one of the largest teaching hospitals in the UK.
