Intro

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:

• practitioner focused
• physiology skill-centred
• science in practice
• 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.

You'll be supported to work towards relevant certifications and accreditations with professional bodies, for example

Our teaching laboratories are accredited by BASES.

Careers

Career opportunities for applied exercise physiologists are growing, especially for clinical exercise physiology positions.

Many graduates pursue employment in hospitals and primary care trusts where specialists with exercise backgrounds are needed to work within health and clinical settings. Others take up clinical physiology posts through locum agencies enabling them to experience different hospitals and types of clinical physiology before making their career decisions. We also have graduates who enter the Scientist Training Programme to become clinical scientists enabling them to specialise in cardiac, respiratory, sleep or even gastrointestinal physiology.

Some graduates work with sports governing bodies as applied physiologists, or directly with sports teams, while others have set up their own endurance physiology consultancy service, or worked in the public and private sector as physiologists. Some graduates focus on research positions in industry or with organisations such as the Ministry of Defence. This MSc is also ideal preparation for continuing your studies at PhD level and each year we have students following this route.

An MSc in Applied Exercise Physiology from the University of Brighton will equip you with the theoretical knowledge, practical skills and emotional intelligence necessary for a successful career and help you to stand out in today鈥檚 competitive job market.

We'll support you as you start to think about life after graduation. You will have the opportunity to undergo a mock interview for a job that meets your career aspirations. We'll provide post-interview feedback so that when you are applying for jobs in the real world you will be well prepared.

85% of our most recent graduates secured a physiology-related position within two months of submitting their final research project and prior to graduating. Most were clinical exercise physiology positions: cardiographers, respiratory and cardiac physiologists, trainee clinical scientists.

We were one of the first 10 institutions nationally, selected by the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA), to become a CIMSPA Higher Education Partner. The partnership acknowledges our commitment to producing graduates with the skillset needed to be deployed straight into the sport and physical activity sector.
