Course summary

Sport and Exercise Medical Sciences is a novel degree program that bridges traditional sports science degrees and the newest medical specialty of Sport and Exercise Medicine (SEM). The programme aims to give students a significant medical orientation to sports and exercise scientific principles, including:

  • A comprehensive understanding of the medical sciences pertaining to human body systems in health and disease
  • Skills in evidence-based exercise prescription for patients in the prevention and management of chronic diseases to improve the health of the nation
  • An understanding of common sports and exercise-related injuries, their scientific basis, clinical assessment, prevention and management
  • Fundamental applied research skills
Degree Summary The course is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the science, evidence and key principles underpinning sport, exercise and physical activity for health, as well as possible risks such as injuries. The course teaches all relevant anatomy and physiology relating to the human body systems, how the systems respond to cardiorespiratory and muscle training, and how to prescribe appropriate physical activity for disease, health and high performance sport. Students will develop clinical assessment skills for exercise prescription, as well as basic injury assessment and management principles. All students will gain a practical application of research skills, methodology, and medical statistics.
