MSc Clinical Exercise Physiology

This postgraduate programme gives students the skills and knowledge needed to become a Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology. The course focuses on using exercise to assess, prevent, and treat a range of diseases and clinical conditions. Students will learn about the physical factors related to these diseases and their causes, which will prepare them to improve a person's health and quality of life with personalised treatments.

The curriculum is taught by research-active staff who include their most recent findings in their lessons, all conducted in modern facilities. A key element of the course is a clinical placement module, which gives students hands-on experience and teaches them about professional practices. Students will also be expected to analyse and evaluate research, and to design and complete their studies, along with assignments such as an evidence-based case study.
