The role of the clinical exercise scientist is relatively new but increasingly important nationally and internationally. These specialists draw on the skills, knowledge, and underlying principles of sport and exercise science, in order to improve people’s health and wellbeing. Clinical exercise scientists are often involved in helping people manage long-term health conditions or recover from serious illness.
In its 2019 report, 'National Health Service – Five Year Forward View', the UK Government recognised the need for effective collaboration between the clinical exercise sciences and the NHS. It sees this as a way to address increasing public health challenges and to relieve pressure on the NHS — particularly within hospital and community settings. The Covid-19 pandemic then pushed population health and wellbeing into the spotlight like never before, and this further accelerated the growth of clinical exercise science.
Clinical Exercise Scientists/Physiologists play a vital role in supporting the NHS 10-Year long term plan, particularly in prevention, rehabilitation, and reducing health inequalities.
Applicants to the course are required to hold a relevant undergraduate degree at 2.1 or higher. This relevant degree should be in a science subject and have covered content related to the modules listed as part of the MSc programme. Applicants are welcome to contact programme staff with any queries related to entry criteria, and each application will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
After graduating from this programme, you could apply for a variety of jobs within clinical exercise science — for example, roles in:
clinical rehabilitation
clinical exercise physiology
health, and
wellbeing
These jobs could be in public or private organisations, and in academic, community and clinical settings.
