Course summary

Harness the power of physical activity, exercise prescription, and sport science to prevent disease, promote wellbeing and prolong life, in this exciting and fast-growing area of medicine. Whether you are an exercise scientist, health and fitness professional, or a medical practitioner, come and develop your understanding of how to prescribe exercise as treatment. You will explore the science of physical activity, exercise prescription, and behaviour change and gain the contemporary knowledge, critical skills, and practical-based experience required to bridge the gap between theory and practice. There are more employment opportunities in the health and exercise sector than ever before for highly skilled practitioners. Lifestyle-related diseases (cardiovascular disease, cancer, obesity, diabetes, and poor mental health) are all on the rise globally. These diseases are further exacerbated by low levels of physical activity, and a sedentary lifestyle. Backed by cutting-edge research, study engaging and informative modules on physical activity, physiology, exercise programming, nutrition, psychology, and advanced research methods, which will help springboard your career to the next level within the health and exercise sector. Students that do not wish to study the full MSc programme, can choose to study to a PGDip/PGCert level instead.
