Football Medicine in association with FIFA

Overview

The Football Medicine in association with FIFA course at University of Bath develops your sport and exercise medicine expertise, with a focus on football.

Through a combination of Bath’s clinical expertise and FIFA’s industry insights, you’ll learn advanced football medicine techniques. This will help to enhance your sport-specific or portfolio medical career.

During your studies, you’ll gain the skills needed to improve the preparation, development, and medical management of recreational or elite players; and deepen your clinical knowledge of musculoskeletal injuries, to allow you to better assess, treat, and advise the patients in your practice.

Graduate prospects

By the end of your studies, you will be qualified to work with footballers and/or teams from grassroots to elite levels in a variety of football medicine roles (such as team doctor).

Throughout the course, you’ll become better equipped to assess, treat, and advise patients in relation to musculoskeletal injuries, and to advise patients about the health benefits of exercise more generally.

Recent Department for Health graduates have gone on to work for leading organisations in the field of football, including:

• FIFA Medical Department
