About the course
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.
This Clinical Exercise Physiology MSc is in the process of applying for course accreditation with the Academy for Healthcare Science (AHCS, incorporating RCCP); we hope this will be in place for 2023-entry students.
