Developed in partnership with FIFA, this specialist master's course equips qualified doctors with the skills to conduct clinical practice in football settings.
This highly flexible academic and clinical online master's degree develops your sport and exercise medicine skills, with a focus on football. You’ll gain advanced football medicine knowledge to benefit your sport-specific or portfolio medical career.
