We are lecturers and practicing professionals in Sports Science and Rehabilitation. Our undergraduate BSc/BA (Hons) Sports programmes are dynamic vocational degrees delivered with the physically active in mind, whether that is within the local community, the recreational or professional athlete. Our experience and expertise in professional sport and private industry allows the sports student to gain first hand and current knowledge in the field of sports medicine, exercise and training. We maintain strong links in industry, which provides our students opportunities for excellent work experience placements. Community events also allow students to voluntarily offer their skills to assist the competitor, which further strengthens the role and credibility that our sports students play within the health and exercise medicine spectrum. Our in-house Sports & Spinal Injuries Clinic and Athlete Development Centre also provide our means of actual practice and teaching where we welcome anyone wishing to have their injury managed, or fitness tested, advised and monitored to the highest standards using recent and researched methods to access our facility in Bolton One.

Bolton Ironmen conquer Ironman Wales!


Flying the flag for Bolton:
Sport Rehabilitation graduate and Ironman World Championship qualifier, Bartek Holda, Sport Rehabilitator (lecturer) Adam Naylor and Sport Scientist (lecturer) Colin Robertson took on and conquered Ironman Wales yesterday.  The 'practise what you preach' adage was certainly evident in the fantastic achievements amidst  tough swimming conditions covering 2.4 miles in the sea in Tenby North Beach, cycling 112 miles over 6000ft climbing along the Pembrokeshire Coast, and a tough 26.2 mile marathon to finish.  Amazing performances guys!
