You are supported by teaching staff who are active in research critical to our understanding of cardiovascular health. The programme is designed for people already working in the field, such as physiotherapists and physical therapists, as well as students without a professional background. Gain a grounding in the theory and practice of cardiovascular rehabilitation and apply this knowledge to real-life settings.
