Course summary

This course is for you if you want to work in the world of sport and performance, exercise for health, or with more clinical populations. You are ideally suited if you have a curiosity and passion for physiology, as it applies to exercise. If you are not yet sure of your direction, the course will give you an opportunity to deepen your understanding of both applied sport and applied exercise physiology. Our Applied Exercise Physiology MSc is designed around four pillars:

  • practitioner focused
  • physiology skill-centred
  • science in practice
  • personal and professional development.
All your modules can have an exercise physiology focus and option modules will enable you to study an area of interest in greater depth. Our teaching laboratories are accredited by the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES). We are one of just 10 institutions nationally, selected by the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA), to become a CIMSPA Higher Education Partner. We are part of their pilot programme to develop CIMSPA endorsed and quality assured degree programmes to improve students’ employment prospects. The partnership also offers many benefits for students studying this course.
