Course in depth

What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.

What you'll study

This course centres on the science and practice of sports therapy, combining the study of how the body moves and responds to training with practical therapeutic and conditioning skills. You'll usually start with foundations in anatomy, exercise physiology and sport psychology, then progress through biomechanics, training physiology and research methods. In your final year, you'll specialise in areas such as strength & conditioning, rehabilitation, nutrition, sport psychology, coaching or PE teaching routes, undertake an applied placement with teams or clients, and complete an independent research project. Throughout, the course balances classroom learning with practical sessions and hands-on experience.

Who it's for

This course suits those seeking part-time study in sports therapy whilst balancing other commitments. It's designed for students who want professional accreditation in a healthcare-adjacent field and are prepared to engage with both academic rigour and practical application. You should be motivated by the prospect of working with athletes and active individuals across various settings.

How AI is changing the work

AI doesn't replace the profession, it shifts it: routine tasks get automated, while judgement, working with people and using AI well become more valuable.

What AI takes off your plate

  • Routine information gathering
  • First-draft writing and summaries
  • Standard analysis and admin
  • Repetitive processing tasks

More human than ever

  • Judgement and original thinking
  • Working with and leading people
  • Owning and sense-checking AI output
  • Ethics and accountability

The strongest graduates pair subject depth with the ability to use AI tools critically.

International students

What applying to LMU from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.

Tuition fees

International tuition is set per course by LMU; international fees are typically £12,000–£30,000/year for classroom subjects and higher for lab/clinical ones. You’re not eligible for UK Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loans, so plan for fees plus living costs upfront.

English language

Most UK undergraduate courses ask for around IELTS 6.0–6.5 (no band below 5.5–6.0), or an accepted equivalent. If you’re just short, most universities run a pre-sessional English course that counts towards the requirement.

Student visa

You’ll usually need a Student visa (Student Route). After you accept an offer the university issues a CAS; you then show funds for fees plus about £1,023–£1,334/month living costs and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge for NHS access.

Scholarships & funding

Many universities offer international/global scholarships (often £2,000–£6,000/yr), check LMU’s funding pages.

Living costs

Budget roughly £1,100–£1,400/month outside London and £1,400–£1,800/month in London for rent, food and travel; the figure also matters for your visa.

Working while you study

A Student visa usually allows up to 20 hours/week in term time and full-time in holidays, useful alongside study, though not something to rely on for fees.

Visa rules and fees change. Always confirm the current requirements with LMU and gov.uk before you apply.
