The University of Greater Manchester’s sport rehabilitation programmes are in a league of their own, according to this year’s National Student Survey (NSS).
The programmes were ranked:
The sport rehabilitation programmes were also placed eighth in the UK in the 2026 Guardian University Guide league tables.
Cat Mistry, Programme Lead in Sport Rehabilitation at the University of Greater Manchester, said: “We are delighted and proud that our sport rehabilitation programmes have been recognised as best for teaching and learning in the whole country as voted for by students.
“Moreover, the programmes were placed top in every category in the National Student Survey for Greater Manchester, which is a fantastic achievement, as well as being ranked at number eight in the Guardian league tables.
“The sport rehab programmes at the University of Greater Manchester provide top quality training for Graduate Sport Rehabilitators (GSRs).
“They offer accredited training in preventing, assessing, diagnosing and treating sports and physical activity-related injuries.”
The programmes are based in Bolton One, an excellent sports facility on campus. They provide exciting placement opportunities, including professional sports teams, private clinics and with local charities.
Nathan Warner, who graduated in the summer with a first-class honours degree in Sport Rehabilitation, said: “I had an absolutely fantastic three years at the University and a course that I would recommend in a heartbeat.
“From academic growth, to the variety of placement experiences, it has been a faultless experience.
“I've been privileged to have the opportunity of part-time work across second and third year, and am now looking forward to continuing work in the industry on a full-time basis across two clinics.”
Cat said: “Graduate Sport Rehabilitators are in demand thanks to our increasing participation in sport and exercise and the injuries we inevitably pick up. Additionally, sport rehabilitators are able to support individuals with health promotion and lifestyle management"
“Sport rehabilitators are essential across all levels of sport, from amateur to elite. By studying for this British Association of Sport Rehabilitators (BASRaT) accredited honours degree, you can develop essential knowledge and understanding of sports rehabilitation principles and practices while experiencing life at our supportive, student-focused, multicultural campus.”
Graduates from the programme will be eligible to practice as a registered GSR, rehabilitating athletes from injury.
