Comments about the MSc Sports and Exercise Medicine course
Past external examiners
"The content of the curriculum is appropriately comprehensive and contemporary, and is informed to a significant degree by research developments in both the component basic sciences and in clinical medicine. Indeed, this latter point marks out the Nottingham programme from its competitors." - (2004-2007) Professor Susan Ward, University of Leeds.
"One of the strengths of this programme is the depth of expertise available in Nottingham in the area of Sport and Exercise Medicine and Science. This is reflected in the reputation this course has in the wider Sports Medicine community.” - (2002-2005) Professor Michael Cullen, Consultant in Sport and Exercise Medicine, Musgrave Park Hospital, Belfast.
“The course is the market leader in Sports Medicine, and it has the potential to become the ‘ flagship’ for Sports Medicine in the UK.” - (1998-2001) Professor Clyde Williams, Loughborough University.

"I found the MSc Sports and Exercise Medicine an amazing educational experience in a friendly and professional environment. The course content was outstanding and has given me the confidence and competence to practise at any sporting event. I would strongly recommend the course to any health professional who takes pride in delivering a quality medical service.”
“I have gained a lot, not just from this course, but also from being a student at the University of Nottingham. I feel I have got what I wanted from the whole experience.” (an international graduate)
“Since finishing the postgraduate programme in Sports Medicine and moving into full time General Pracice I have found the skills and knowledge that I acquired on the course invaluable. Although not strictly doing "Sports Medicine" it is surprising how many musculoskeletal problems we encounter in General Practice. My confidence in diagnosis and management of these conditions has been greatly improved and my fellow GPs now regularly refer patients to me for my opinion and for joint injections.”
