Summary

Inter-professional learning (IPL) opportunities are embedded within this programme with some modules being shared with other sport and exercise professionals. Inter-professional learning is when students from different professional areas learn with, from and about each other to improve the quality of care. IPL is vital in supporting you to develop the knowledge, skills and insights necessary for employment within increasingly integrated and complex health and social care settings.

Links and knowledge from local, national and international research initiatives are undertaken in the School of Sport and the wider University research institutions. Focus throughout the programme is on the application of clinical exercise physiology practice to real-world contexts, ensuring you develop professional and transferable skills such as communicating test data to patients, motivational behaviour and interpersonal skills that will help you succeed in the workplace. The School of Sport has recently been awarded £5.8m funding to develop teaching facilities. You will have opportunities to study and practice in these state-of-the-art facilities.

Research and contemporary evidence based practice is central to all teaching and learning activity within the course to ensure students have the most up to date knowledge upon its completion. This also ensures students have the required skills and knowledge to develop and improve services and their own and others’ practice through the utilisation of contemporary and evidence based techniques.

Our MSc Clinical Exercise Physiology course will:

  1. Facilitate your development as an autonomous, accountable, reflective Clinical Exercise Physiology practitioner committed to continuing professional development and life-long learning.
  2. Enable your development as a compassionate Clinical Exercise Physiology practitioner with excellent interpersonal and communication skills, who is able to deliver high quality person-centred care.
  3. Enable you to develop as an enquiring Clinical Exercise Physiology practitioner with excellent skills of clinical judgement, who are able to practice in a diversity of settings.
  4. Provide you with high quality practice learning opportunities, working within inter-professional teams in a variety of healthcare settings.
  5. Enable you to critically analyse the complexity of professional, ethical and legal frameworks and their impact on decision making.
  6. Enable you to develop a wide range of transferable skills including the ability to investigate, undertake, and apply research evidence, leadership and management skills and information technology skills.
  7. Facilitate your development as a change agent, able to respond to a changing and dynamic practice environment, safely and effectively treating and managing patients/service users with a wide range of conditions. Successful completion of the programme will provide eligibility to apply for registration with The Registration Council for Clinical Physiologists (RCCP)
