The applied sport and exercise physiology course will provide you with the underpinning theoretical knowledge and the key practical skills required to work as an applied sport and exercise physiologist. Sports and exercise physiologists often work within multidisciplinary teams, helping monitor and develop performance for individual and team-sport athletesWith this course, we aim to produce postgraduate students with a sound knowledge of both the theoretical and practical aspects of applied sport and exercise physiology. We will also equip you with the necessary skills to undertake individual and collaborative research. All students take two specialist subject modules, giving them the underpinning theoretical knowledge and the key practical skills required to work as an applied sport and exercise physiologist. Throughout your studies, you will gain sound scientific knowledge and develop your practical skills and experience. You will also learn to evaluate field and laboratory data, including statistical analysis. In addition to the specialist modules, students have the opportunity to apply their skills within our dedicated human performance clinic, providing students opportunities for hands-on real-world work experience opportunities with external athletes and clubs.We are investing in key areas beyond your studies including our career services, library and well-being, to be available both face-to-face on campus and online with many of these available 247. We have new, modern library facilities on both campuses offering inspirational environments for study and research. Libraries contain resources in print and digital formats, a range of study spaces and a dedicated librarian who can assist with your learning.The mix of advanced theoretical knowledge and practical experience will equip students with the required subject-specific skills to follow a successful career within the field of applied exercise physiology.Graduate employers of exercise physiologists within elite sport, such as the English Institute of Sport, require applicants to have an advanced theoretical knowledge of the subject, along with experience working with athletes collecting, analysing and interpreting the results of physiological tests. The two subject-specific modules on this course, along with our dedicated Human Performance Clinic provide graduates with valuable experience in both of those areas.
