There has never been a more exciting time to undertake an MSc in Clinical Exercise Physiology. Exercise now represents one of the world’s major businesses and scientists have an increasingly prominent role in working with healthy and clinical populations to maintain healthy lifestyles and reduce disease.

This Masters programme is ideal if you want to go on to specialise in exercise physiology in a clinical setting. The course provides a detailed knowledge of physiology applied to clinical contexts, but is also designed to extend your knowledge beyond ‘classical’ exercise physiology studies and into novel techniques and theories underpinning exercise physiology and health.

Many career opportunities will be available on graduation. The majority of graduates move into the clinical field (e.g. rehabilitation, clinical physiologist, STP, wellbeing and fitness), as well as teaching and lecturing in schools, colleges and universities. You may choose to continue in education or research, even taking your studies to doctoral level.
