Course content

This course is for you if you want to work in the world of exercise for health and wellbeing, or with more clinical populations, or if undecided whether to direct your degree towards exercise or sports performance. If you have a curiosity and passion for physiology applied to exercise, this course is for you.

Our Applied Exercise Physiology MSc is designed around four pillars:

  • personal and professional development.

We prioritise the development of a blend of hard, technical skills alongside softer interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence essential to become an effective exercise physiology practitioner in the workplace.
