Our course combines theory and practice in advanced exercise physiology, clinical exercise testing and training, exercise prescription, pathophysiology of disease, exercise adherence, and more.
You’ll be supported by our expert academics and will have the chance to undertake a research project of your own delivered to an end-of-year postgraduate conference.
We also offer opportunities to apply the scientific knowledge you learn to real-life settings with strong links with the NHS, the City Healthcare Partnership and the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences.
The MSc is a 45-week programme of full-time study but different levels of award are available:
- Postgraduate Certificate: 3 x 20 credit taught modules taken over an academic year
- Postgraduate Diploma: 6 x 20 credit taught modules taken over an academic year
- Masters degree: Students normally progress to the Masters stage which consists of a research project and dissertation, written as a journal article. The research project is additionally examined by a public oral exam. Where possible, students are encouraged and assisted by academic staff to submit for a peer-reviewed national/international academic journal output.
