Career opportunities

Typical destinations for graduates:

  • Certified Athletic Therapist: subject to national certification
  • Sports Injury Clinician: clinics and teams
  • Rehabilitation Specialist: after certification
  • Strength and Conditioning Coach: athletic programmes
  • Clinical Assistant: physiotherapy and sports medicine
  • Graduate Study: kinesiology and rehabilitation

Reality check: national athletic therapy certification is a separate examination process after graduation, and 95 percent at Class 12 is a genuine barrier that few applicants clear.
