The MSc Clinical Exercise Physiology at the University of Salford equips you to leverage 'exercise as medicine' for patient rehabilitation and chronic condition management. This postgraduate programme is designed for those seeking to develop an advanced understanding of pathophysiology and the aetiology of disease states, including cancer, cardiovascular, renal, and neurological conditions. You will gain essential skills in clinical assessment, exercise testing, and the prescription of tailored exercise programmes, preparing you for a vital role in modern healthcare.
Studied full-time on campus over one year, this Masters degree offers a hands-on learning experience. You will develop practical skills in state-of-the-art facilities, including our Exercise Physiology Laboratory, and gain invaluable experience through a clinical placement, accumulating at least 140 placement hours. The curriculum culminates in a research project or dissertation, allowing you to delve deeply into a chosen area. Upon successful completion and meeting the clinical assessment of competencies, you will be eligible to register with the Academy for Healthcare Science (AHCS) as a Clinical Exercise Physiologist.
