Bachelor in Sports Medicine Major

Tuition fees are 7,178,200 KRW per year.

CHA University offers a bachelor's degree in the Sports Medicine Major, taught in English in Pocheon, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. Sports medicine studies how the human body responds to physical activity, training, and injury, combining anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics with practical knowledge of injury prevention, rehabilitation, and athletic performance. Students typically begin with foundational coursework in human anatomy and exercise physiology before moving into more specialized subjects such as sports injury assessment, rehabilitation techniques, biomechanics, and principles of athletic training and conditioning, often supported by practical or clinical components where students apply what they learn to real physical activity and injury scenarios. The field draws together elements of medicine, physical therapy, and exercise science, preparing graduates to understand both how the body performs under physical stress and how to support recovery when injuries occur. CHA University's connection to biomedical and clinical research in South Korea offers students in this major a research-oriented setting linked to broader medical training, which can be valuable for those planning further study in physical therapy, medicine, or exercise science. Graduates can pursue careers as athletic trainers, rehabilitation specialists, sports performance coaches, or work within sports organizations, hospitals, and clinics focused on injury prevention and recovery, as well as continue into graduate or professional programs in medicine or physical therapy. The Pocheon location, within Gyeonggi-do near the greater Seoul area, situates the program near a concentration of biomedical institutions in South Korea. The bachelor's degree runs over four years, with new students admitted in both the spring and fall semesters each year. Delivered fully in English, the program allows international students to study sports medicine in South Korea without first needing Korean-language proficiency.
