1. Following the lifting of all pandemic restrictions and advice from the Department for Education, we currently anticipate that no social distancing measures will be in place on campus during the 2023/24 academic year, enabling a normal on-campus experience. Our aim is to ensure that our students experience Leeds Beckett University, our courses, campuses, facilities and services to the fullest extent possible, while maintaining an environment where students and staff feel safe.
2. In all cases, the health and safety of students and staff is our priority and we will continue to follow guidance from the UK Health Security Agency, the Department for Education and all other recognised government agencies (such as the Office for Students) in full and keep matters under close review at all times. The advice and restrictions may change before and/or during the academic year, either nationally or in response to local conditions and rates of infection and include the need for social distancing measures and other restrictions. Our flexible delivery model allows us to revert to a blended and/or remote delivery model if this becomes necessary. In a worst case scenario it is possible our campuses may need to close.
3. In the event that delivery is restricted as a consequence of pandemic restrictions, we will keep you informed of planned changes as they arise, to ensure you are provided with accurate information.

The Bachelor of Science (with Honours) Sports and Exercise therapy programme embodies the core competencies, skills, and knowledge consistent with the sports and exercise therapy profession. The course enables students from all backgrounds to develop their knowledge, skills, and practice within the field of Sports and Exercise Therapy in a student centred, inclusive, and diverse curriculum. Providing a multi and interdisciplinary learning experience so that students fulfil their own potential and reflect the diversity of the profession.

The course is professionally accredited and designed to have a strong course identity which builds upon the Standards of Education and Training set out by The Society of Sports Therapists and reflects Leeds Beckett's priorities of graduate attributes of a global outlook, enterprise, and employability. Our programme design embraces this learning pathway at each level of study. At Level 4 students will develop the fundamental skills required to meet the challenges of higher education, providing a solid foundation of theoretical and practical skills to build upon and consolidate learning. Level 5 encourages students to adopt an inquiry-based critical approach to learning and develop independent thought and reflection. At Level 6 students will augment independent thinking in terms of academic and research development within their profession, with the opportunity to elect study options to enhance employability pathways. It is our aspiration to produce knowledgeable, experienced, innovative, and employable graduates equipped with the skills and competencies required for practice as a professionally registered Sports and Exercise Therapist

The aims of the programme are:

1. To enable students to acquire a wide range of Sports and Exercise Therapy skills and competencies appropriate to practice; including being able to assess the holistic needs of individuals, to plan, implement and evaluate interventions that are safe, efficient and effective, and to organise and manage a case load.
2. To enable students to develop a broad understanding and awareness of the health benefits of exercise, and to promote these benefits to the wider public.
3. To provide a progressive programme of study that enables students to achieve a holistic approach which embraces the disciplines that inform the practice of Sports and Exercise Therapy.
4. To provide a supportive learning environment that encourages students to adopt an evidence-based approach to Sports and Exercise Therapy.
5. To enable students to develop a critical appreciation of existing knowledge through the use of effective research strategies.
6. To foster the development of reflective and evaluative skills to enable students to become lifelong learners who will engage with Continuing Professional Development.
7. To enable students to communicate effectively with individuals who may be clients, colleagues or members of inter professional teams.
8. To foster a responsible and thoughtful approach incorporating the professional, ethical and legal issues related to their studies, future employment and professional system.
9. To create graduates suitably equipped with professional, technical, critical, analytical and problem-solving skills in preparation for employment as Sports and Exercise Therapists.

At the end of the course, students will be able to:

1. Demonstrate a critical understanding of the principles of Sports and Exercise Therapy practice using digital and non-digital strategies at a level of academic attainment appropriate to an honours graduate
2. Demonstrate competent practical skills in Sports and Exercise Therapy and the capabilities required to be an autonomous practitioner.
3. Demonstrate the ability to collaborate and integrate knowledge base through interdisciplinary working to promote innovative solutions in Sports and Exercise Therapy practice
4. Demonstrate the ability to comply with the professional, ethical and legal requirements of practice, and the requirements for membership of the Society of Sports Therapists and show the capacity to be a lifelong learner and to engage with Continuing Professional Development.

The essential development in Level 5 is the application of theoretical principles and specific skills to the Sports and Exercise Therapy situation. Prior learning will be developed and applied.

By the end of Level 5, students will be able to:

1. Develop further understanding of key theories and principles associated with Sports and Exercise Therapy practice.
2. Analyse and apply appropriate evidence to more complex problems and situations; and reflect on this process.
3. Justify the choice, and develop the application, of appropriate skills in the safe and effective management/treatment of an individual. Identify alternative solutions to problems and begin to discriminate between these by reasoning.
4. Collect data independently and organise it appropriately, justify the validity of the analytical process.
5. Operate in teams in the professional setting, with an understanding of roles, leadership and team dynamics and recognise the goals and priorities of others.
6. Begin to express personal views in relation to aspects of Sports and Exercise Therapy and demonstrate creativity in carefully monitored situations.

The assessment balance associated with this course is calculated from core modules and typical option module choices undertaken by students. They have been reviewed and confirmed as representative by the Course Director but the specific option choices students make will influence the assessment balance.

Level 4 is assessed by practical assessments predominantly with some coursework and examinations.

Level 5 is assessed by a broadly even mix of coursework, practical assessments, and examinations.

Level 6 is assessed by coursework predominantly, with some examinations and practical assessments. Note specific option choice modules may influence the assessment balance.

Please note the exam/assessment periods in the academic calendar and make sure that you are available during those periods. Some assessments/examinations may take place outside of the formal assessment period, these will be notified via individual module handbooks. Further details of your schedule of examinations can be found on your timetable once the examination schedule is released. Coursework submission deadlines can normally be found on MyBeckett or in individual Module Handbooks/other module guides.

Disabled students requiring adjustments to assessments/examinations should contact Disability Advice as soon as possible. We can only guarantee that adjustments can be put in place if students have contacted us by the following deadlines:

Semester 1 - 10th November 2023

Semester 2 - 8th March 2024

It is important for your progression and achievement that you submit all work for all assignments in a timely manner. It is also important that you keep copies of all work submitted until after you have graduated. You should also keep any receipts confirming the submission of assignments. In the event of your submitted work being lost you may be required to produce a copy of the work and submission receipt. If you are unable to do so, your work will not be marked.

It is important to note that submitting all assignments is a requirement of your course. Should you experience extenuating circumstances which prevent you from submitting on time please make yourself aware of the Mitigation and Extenuating Circumstances process. Without any form of extenuating circumstances, standard penalties apply for late submission of assessed work. Full details of the penalties for late submission of course work are available in section 3 of the Academic Regulations at https://www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/our-university/public-information/academic-regulations/.

If you have been recommended 'flexibility around deadlines' as a reasonable adjustment in a Reasonable Adjustment Plan, your Course Administrator will be able to advise you of the process.

You may be required to submit your written work via Turnitin; further information on Turnitin is available here: https://libguides.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/it_support/mybeckett/turnitin

Assessed work will normally be returned with appropriate feedback within four weeks of your submission. Each Module Handbook will provide you with specific guidelines on how and when you will receive feedback on your assessments. The four-week turnaround period ensures adequate time for marking and internal moderation.

Formative assessments will be used throughout the course to provide you with ongoing feedback on your performance to help you to learn and to develop confidence in your abilities. Formative assessments may be undertaken by staff, peer and/or self-assessment and form the foundation for reflection. This ultimately enables an individual to become independent and is essential for a professional practitioner.

Results from module assessments and decisions on progression to the next level of study (e.g., from level 4 to level 5 of an undergraduate degree) or awards (if you are in the final level) are available on the Results Online system: https://www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/student-information/exams-assessments-and-awards/results-online/

Results will appear on Results Online within five working days from the date of the Progression and Award Board meeting (the meeting where your end of level outcome will be decided) or the Module Board meeting (the meeting where modular outcomes are decided).

The University recognises that, from time to time, students may encounter issues which may prevent them from being able to submit or take assessment. Where this is the case, students may be able to submit their 'extenuating circumstances' for consideration. Please see the Mitigation and Extenuating Circumstances web page for further information.

If you have not passed a module at the first attempt you will be eligible for re-assessment. See your Module Handbook for details of the relevant re-assessment process (e.g., whether it is coursework, an examination, a presentation or other form of assessment/when it will take place/what the deadline is). You will be advised via Results Online of your options for re-assessment. You are advised to contact your Course Director, Course Administrator or Academic Advisor for any necessary clarification.

Details about our Appeals process can be found on the appeals web page.

Academic integrity means intellectual honesty and is part of good academic practice. Further information can be found on our academic integrity web page.

The pedagogical approach to assessment, learning and teaching aims for an inclusive environment that is non-discriminatory, appropriate, and respects and values the perspectives of others. An 'inclusive learning environment' is referred to by the Higher Education Academy as being 'where due attention is paid to the pace, length, structure, method of delivery, and materials used.' The design of the curriculum and approaches to teaching and learning reflect the Leeds Beckett Education Strategy (2021) to provide a supportive academic culture and flexible learning environment to support all students.

Approaches to teaching and learning include a range of methods to address the variety of learning styles and diverse student populations. Within classroom-based activities, different learning preferences and learning styles, that reflect individual and cultural preferences, are accommodated through traditional and recorded lectures, practical seminars, group-work, tutorials, computer assisted learning, reflective learning techniques, simulated practice, clinically based teaching, problem-based and experiential learning. All of which enrich the versatility of the delivery. Similarly, our range of assessment modes takes account of differences in student learning styles. For example, throughout the course students are assessed through their written work, timed examinations, practical skills, verbal presentation skills and technical competence in research and analysis.

Enquiry-based learning and a problem-solving approach to learning and teaching will be employed throughout the course. The aim is to enable students to integrate their knowledge and develop skills of searching, analysing, interpreting, and applying evidence-based practice within sport and exercise therapy. Oral communication and effective teamwork are developed by assessments such as individual and group presentations. Interpersonal skills and interviewing techniques are developed in workshops in readiness for employment.

Teaching takes place in multi-purpose rooms with additional specialised facilities for technical, clinical, and interpersonal skills development. The course accesses teaching and learning resources at both City campus and Headingley campus.

At the City Campus, teaching accommodation is available in Portland and Calverley Buildings, Broadcasting Place, and the Rose Bowl. In particular, the Clinical Skills Suite has been developed for inter-professional use across the School of Health courses. Clinical skills rooms contain examination couches, stools and arm tables and can be opened to form larger rooms. All have Smartboards or large mobile TVs with PC access. Technology enhanced learning is enhanced with the addition of LabTutor (physiological experiments) and Anatomy TV (3D anatomy tutorials with self-assessments). The Clinical Skills suite offers a vast array of equipment to be utilised to enhance learning during sessions. Plans are in place to create an additional Clinical Skills Suite for simulated teaching resources that will include an immersive learning suite, an Anatomage table, and simulated hospital bays

At the Headingley Campus teaching accommodation is available in Fairfax, James Graham, Carnegie School of Sport buildings, and the Carnegie Sports Centre. The teaching and learning experiences to assess physical activity and sporting performance are enhanced with specialised facilities linked to state-of-the-art biomechanics testing areas and laboratories, physiology research laboratories, strength and conditioning suite, and a variety of well-equipped sports halls and facilities including tennis courts, running tracks and a swimming pool.

Throughout the course from Level 4 to Level 6 students, undertake supervised placement opportunities, in the purpose-built university sports and exercise therapy clinic at Headingley campus. In this environment, students will experience multi-level peer learning, whereby students of all levels work together to promote a course community of sports and exercise therapists. In addition, external supervised practice placement opportunities, that encompass the range of competencies of a sports and exercise therapist, will be undertaken at level 6.

By joining a society with Leeds Beckett Students' Union, you can make new friends, have fun, try something new and enhance your CV - societies provide a great opportunity to learn new skills and improve your existing ones. It can be difficult to get to know new people at university but don't worry, everyone is in the same boat! Our Leeds Beckett Students' Union believe that joining a student-led society is the best way to meet new people and make lifelong friends. There are so many societies out there - from course-based to hobby-based to religious to political and campaigning. Whether you're just starting out at Leeds Beckett or working on your last year of study, it is never too late to find the right society for you - or start one yourself!

Course-based societies are a great way to meet people on your course, expand your networks and celebrate your achievements together such as end of year Society Balls. If you have a great idea for a society, we can help you get it up and running. There are resources and support available for all societies - including funding to help make your society goals a reality. For more information on starting your own society, visit: leedsbeckettsu.co.uk/societies/create.

Graduate attributes: https://www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/student-information/academic-skills-and-advice/graduate-attributes/

Undergraduate students will develop three graduate attributes: Enterprise, Digital Literacy and Global Outlook. Where appropriate these have been embedded into modules and across levels of the course, providing students with proficiencies essential for career development, employability, and broader life skills. These are developed and assessed as identified in individual module handbooks.

Enterprise

The BSc (Hons) Sports and Exercise Therapy is a professional course that prepares successful graduates to become autonomous practitioners with the knowledge, skills, and ability to work as an individual, or as an integral part of a multidisciplinary team, in a variety of sport and health and care settings. The course complies with the QAA UK Quality Code for Higher Education (2014), providing graduates with transferable skills necessary for employment such as problem-solving, planning, decision-making, analytical and communication skills. Hence, graduate attributes from the course also provide individuals with a wide skill set that enables success in other career paths.

The level 6 module 'Professional Practice and Development for Sports and Exercise Therapy' aims to synthesise practical and theoretical knowledge in the development of a business idea appropriate to Sports and Exercise Therapy. Utilising current concepts, students will critically evaluate the needs of a new business through stages of development and implementation. Aspects of Finance, Law, Society of Sports Therapists requirements, employment and marketing will be embedded within the process.

Digital Literacy

The BSc (Hons) Sports and Exercise Therapy course is designed to enable students to gain confidence and judgement in the use of digital technologies to enhance their academic, personal and professional development. Students are introduced to the demands of higher education particular in the Level 4 in the 'Professional Skills for Sports and Exercise Therapy Practice 1' module but consolidate in all others. Working closely with both academic staff including the academic librarians' students will be introduced to methods of information retrieval and the judgement and presentation of such material.

All modules will use 'MyBeckett' as the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) hub of student learning being the first point of contact for course and module information. Module tutors will embed blended learning into module content as demonstrated in the Learning and Teaching Activities in each relevant module specification. Such blended learning can include use of reusable learning objects within the virtual learning environment, discussion boards, wikis and blogs with colleagues within the University and via their student membership of the Society of Sports Therapy as the students' professional body. Emphasis is already placed upon Personal Development Plans and Continuous Professional Development. Students will be introduced to the use of e-portfolios. In the Level 4 'Professional Skills for Sports and Exercise Therapy Practice 1' module students will be shown how to conduct search strategies for key sources of information. In the Level 5 'Research Methods for Sports and Exercise Therapy' module students will develop skills in data analysis using relevant software packages e.g. SPSS and NVivo. Students will be expected to present electronic work professionally and to a high standard. Students are encouraged to use the Turnitin software via 'MyBeckett' to check the authenticity of their work prior to submission

Global Outlook

The Society of Sports Therapists requires its members to be aware of the influence of culture, age, ethnicity, gender, religious beliefs and socio-economic status on both individual communication and professional practice. The BSc (Hons) Sports and Exercise Therapy course recognises the need for inclusion and aims to provide students with an experience of learning which enhances their inter-cultural awareness, attitudes, and abilities in line with the 'Globally Engaged' element of the 2021 - 2026 University Strategic Planning Framework (2021).

The implications of cultural diversity for professional practice are reiterated within all modules. We aim to ensure that the learning environment celebrates diversity and promotes inclusion so that students recognise and address issues of diversity, equality, and fair practice. Teaching across all levels provides students the opportunity to recognise their tacit knowledge of cultural identity and examine its influence on the way they view the world. Practice placements may take place in diverse settings which students may find unfamiliar, where learning is supported by their practice placement supervisor, tasks, and through personal reflection.

At course level a variety of assessment, learning and teaching strategies enables students from a diverse range of backgrounds to participate and achieve effectively. When scheduling assessments consideration is given to diversity, inclusivity, and culture to ensure an all-encompassing assessment experience. Both core staff and external lecturers have a broad range of backgrounds and experiences that informs the content and style of their teaching input. In addition, by involving guest lecturers from diverse and international backgrounds in teaching activities provides a further global perspective. Beyond course level, students are encouraged to undertake opportunities provided by the University Volunteering Scheme. This offers work with people in a range of community, charitable, and international settings to expand students' awareness of diversity and inclusivity.

The philosophy of the course and the specific activities outlined above ensure that, upon completion, students will be able to engage effectively, inclusively, and responsibly in a multicultural world.

The course has a specific module at level 6 which links to personal and professional development to support students achieving their career aspirations including self-employment, postgraduate studies and employment outside a sports sector. Links to the Business Start-Up scheme is also incorporated into the module. Throughout the course all students are expected to engage with their personal development via an ongoing e-portfolio which is directly linked to supervised placement experiences, both within the University and externally, and encompasses the Society of Sports Therapists (SST) competencies. This formal record of ongoing personal and professional development enables students to take an individual, positive and proactive approach to their lifelong learning.

Practice placement opportunities can be undertaken in a variety of Sports and Exercise Therapy environments. These must be undertaken under the supervision of a qualified (appropriate governing body registration and professional indemnity insurance required) Sports Therapist, Sports Rehabilitator, Physiotherapist, Massage Therapist or Strength and Conditioning Coach. Additional hours of practice placement can be accrued in the Student Massage and Sports Injury Clinics based at Headingley Campus.

With a global increase in sporting participation and challenges faced by health related issues such as obesity, sports and exercise therapy graduates are well placed in terms of employability skills. Our choice of final year modules allows you to shape your degree in the direction you choose. You will gain clinical and professional skills in preparation for your future career. Our graduates have gone to work in a variety of settings and roles, including sports therapists, sports coaches, exercise physiologists.

We seek active participation by all our students in the continuous enhancement of our courses and through our monitoring, annual review and enhancement processes. These are formal processes used by our University for assuring the academic standards and quality of your course and its continuous improvement. These processes utilise your feedback, External Examiners' reports, feedback from staff and others, data relating to student outcomes on the course and student surveys to reflect on areas of good practice and areas for further enhancement.

We utilise the outcomes of these surveys to benchmark our courses nationally and to inform annual course enhancements.

Informal feedback is also welcome at any time either via your Academic Advisor or module tutor or via your Course Representative. Our partnership with you enables us together to make the most of your learning experience with us and to enhance the quality and reputation of your course. You can find out what actions have been taken in response to your feedback through your Course Representative, the Students' Union, your tutors or through the Library.

You can become a Course Rep, volunteering to represent the views of your peers in order to improve students' academic experience.
