Summary
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, supporting service users to promote meaningful behaviour change. With a heavy practical emphasis, our course also includes a clinical placement. You will gain essential experience in a supervised setting, allowing you to authentically apply your learning to real-world settings and develop practical competencies in a wide range of physiological and phenotypic measurements related to clinical exercise physiology. As an MSc Clinical Exercise Physiology student, you will be taught at our School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, based on our beach-fronted Bay Campus. The School of Engineering and Applied Sciences boasts state-of-the-art facilities that allow you to further apply learnt theory to real world application.

Summary
There has never been a more exciting time to study an MSc in Clinical Exercise Physiology. As the NHS and other healthcare providers are put under an increasing burden from long-term health conditions related to physical inactivity, the demand for graduates with skills in clinical exercise science and physiology is growing.
This 1-year full-time master’s course will equip you with the critical research-informed knowledge and understanding, along with the diverse range of applied and practical skills, that are needed to work with patients to optimise health, physical function, and quality of life through physical activity and exercise.
The MSc will have a heavy practical emphasis and will develop your practical competencies in a wide range of physiological and phenotypic measurements related to clinical exercise physiology. Throughout the programme, you will learn how to design, conduct and interpret a range of disease-specific health and fitness assessments, as well as designing and delivering evidence-based physical activity and exercise interventions, supporting patients to promote meaningful behaviour change, optimising the prevention, treatment and long-term management of a range of complex health conditions.
You will also complete a clinical placement module to gain important supervised experience in applying your skillset in real-world settings.
