The MSc in Sports Physiotherapy programme incorporates knowledge and skills in the areas of sports injury prevention, pitch-side care, sports-specific rehabilitation and performance enhancement. I have had the chance to work with coaches and sports medical professionals, and I have come to understand the concept of high-performance training. Moreover, my clinical placement experience enhanced my reasoning and decision-making skills. I am grateful for the career opportunities that this graduate degree has opened up for me, including the chance to work with athletes from amateur to elite levels. LAU Cheuk Chi |  |
