It totally depends on where you want to improve your skills and what area you wish to work in afterwards. I have done the masters of sports physio course at the University of Qld and lectured on it for the last three years. I believe that the Manips courses are great if you are intending to treat a majority of spinal conditions. I don't think the Manips courses do a very good job of improving skills on the peripheral joints. Sports is obviously dealing with sports injuries, but is also alot more well rounded. What I mean is that you will improve your skills in treating spinal conditions, but not as much as in a Manips course, but you will dramatically improve your skills in treating peripheral joints. So you have to think about what you want out of it. Obviously I am biased towards the University of Queensland, but in discussions with many others around Australia, I am convinced that it's courses have the highest quality of lecturing staff, a very high standard of supervised clinical practice, and best course material.
