The NHS and other health care providers are facing unprecedented pandemic-related demand for services combined while Covid has exacerbated an underlying physical inactivity epidemic. There has never been a more pressing need for CEPs to support the health of the nation. CEPs are University qualified health professionals who are trained to screen, assess and apply clinical and scientific reasoning to ensure safety and appropriateness of exercise-based interventions; they are expected to advance their practice through continuing education, competency development and professional experience.
This MSc course will prepare you for a career as a CEP, so that you can:
· specialise in the prescription and delivery of evidence-based exercise interventions to optimise the prevention, treatment, and long-term management of acute, sub-acute, chronic and complex conditions.
· work in a range of primary, secondary, and tertiary care settings as part of a multidisciplinary team of health care and rehabilitation providers
· optimise physical function and health and promote long-term wellness through lifestyle modification and behaviour change across the lifespan.
The entry requirement for this course is a Bachelor (Honours) Degree at 2:1 or above. We look for applicants to have a background in Sport and Exercise Science (or related area e.g. BSc in Physical Activity and Health). The BSc must have the typical components of an exercise science-based undergraduate degree, including physiology, biomechanics and psychology in order to be eligible for the programme.
