Course content

Overview

Clinical Exercise Physiology is an exciting and rapidly expanding field with a growing demand for skilled graduates. This MRes programme equips you with an advanced understanding of how exercise can be applied as both a preventative and therapeutic tool in managing health and disease. You’ll explore the physiological mechanisms that explain why exercise delivers wide-ranging health benefits.

You'll study core modules in Exercise in Health and Disease and Research Skills, alongside a choice of optional modules. You’ll then put your knowledge into practice through a 24-week research project in Biomedical Informatics. You'll have the opportunity to make a real contribution to this important area of science.

What you'll learn

You'll study subject-specific content in Clinical Exercise Physiology. There will also be a broad range of complementary options to add to these.

Your 24-week research project comprises the major element of the course. You'll work under the supervision of an expert academic researcher in the field.
