Course Overview
Clinical Exercise Physiology is a fast-growing and essential specialism both in the UK and around the world.
With longer life expectancy comes a greater risk of chronic health conditions, and with an increasingly ageing population, the NHS and other healthcare providers are being, and will continue to be, put under increasing strain from the burden of managing these long-term health conditions. The significant role played by Clinical Exercise Physiologists is becoming increasingly recognised, and the demand for skill sets in this area have never been higher.
Our MSc Clinical Exercise Physiology will equip you with the critical, research-informed knowledge and understanding, and the diverse range of applied and practical skills, required to work with service users.
Our programme combines scientific theory with real-world practice. Throughout our programme, you will learn how to design, conduct and interpret a range of disease-specific health and fitness assessments, you will explore the design and delivery of evidence-based physical activity and exercise interventions, and how to support service users to promote meaningful behaviour change.
Our MSc is Accredited by the Academy of Healthcare Science (AHCS). Students who pass all modules, including the clinical assessment of competencies, as well as 140 clinical placement hours, will be eligible to register as a Clinical Exercise Physiologist with the AHCS.
