Thank you for your interest in the one-year, full-time (two-semester), online, on-demand Master of Science in Sports Medicine – MSc (SM) degree program offered by the National University of Medical Sciences. Our Admissions Department is eager to assist you in any way we can. We invite you to contact NUMSS with any questions you may have.

All Sports Medicine courses are offered online and in English. Lectures are available online on demand through the internet. Students also have the option of receiving the lectures on a portable hard drive, which can be connected to a compatible television or computer for convenient viewing.

The MSc (SM) program is offered 100% online with no mandatory campus attendance, allowing students from around the world to study from the comfort of their homes and around their own schedules. However, students who wish to gain additional hands-on experience and practice techniques under the supervision of a clinician may attend an optional one-week, in-person practical techniques review offered in Madrid, Spain once per semester.

The practical class is optional and is not a required component of the MSc (SM) degree program. Students may complete and graduate from the program without attending the practical class.

Sports medicine is a specialized field focused on the prevention, assessment, management, and rehabilitation of injuries and conditions related to sports, exercise, and physical activity. It combines knowledge of musculoskeletal health, biomechanics, exercise science, injury prevention, rehabilitation, and athletic performance to help individuals recover from injuries, maintain physical health, and safely participate in sports and exercise.

The prerequisite to enter the Master of Science in Sports Medicine MSc (SM) program is having a bachelor’s degree. If you do not possess a bachelor’s degree you may enroll in the Bachelor of Science in osteopathy degree offered by National University of Medical Sciences. The MSc (SM) program can be taken concurrently with the Bachelor of Science in Osteopathy BSc (Ost) or the other programs offered by NUMSS.
