Master of Science in Clinical Exercise Physiology

Program Overview

This unique postgraduate course, with its multidisciplinary approach to teaching, allows you to build on your sport and exercise background so you can transition into clinical settings specialising in exercise physiology.

If you are interested in investigating the physiological consequences of chronic debilitating diseases, then this Master’s gives you the opportunity for detailed study. It explores particularly how exercise testing can detect the changes these diseases cause and how to safely prescribe exercise to different clinical populations to improve quality of life.

The course gives you a solid grounding in the theory and application of physiological tests in clinical populations including graded cardiopulmonary exercise testing; cardiac ultrasound; vascular ultrasound; and muscle-function analyses. Throughout, you increase your skills through supervised practical sessions at our Community Exercise Clinic, meeting a range of clinical populations including neurological, cardiac, dementia and hypotensive, among others.

 Why choose this course?

  • Gain from the opportunity to practice your skills on work placement and shadow experienced staff who have world-leading expertise in their fields and are actively involved in research
  • The Clinical Exercise Physiology MSc content has been aligned to the academic framework of CEP-UK and is in the process of applying for course accreditation with the Academy for Healthcare Science (AHCS, incorporating RCCP). It is hoped the accreditation process will be completed in time for those starting the course in September 2024
  • Enjoy the ideal environment for scientific exploration and practical skills development with facilities that include six BASES-accredited sport and exercise science laboratories; and a sports therapy and rehabilitation centre with a sports injury clinic
  • Benefit from our successful partnerships with professional sports teams, elite athletes, academies, schools, colleges and other relevant organisations
