Program Description

The program aims to equip medical practitioners with a rigorous understanding of the theory and practice of sports medicine to meet the needs of people engaged in individual or team-related sporting activities through primary, secondary or tertiary prevention of disease processes.

The degree of Master of Sports Medicine will be awarded after the satisfactory completion of 72 units of credit and a final clinical examination. The 72 UOC consist of 54 UOC from coursework; 12 UOC from the completion of a compulsory research project and 6 UOC from attendance at two four-day practicum courses. For overseas students special arrangements can be made for the practicum component. The Sports Medicine programs are taught through the UNSW Sports Medicine Unit in distance education mode only. Apart from the practicum, there is no on-campus component. Subjects can be taken in any order although the course authority recommends a certain sequence.
