About The Course

Overview

Enhance your academic and practical knowledge as you build your expertise in exercise and science with this MSc in Applied Exercise and Health Science.

As the current health climate continues to depend on the development of quality health services across the health and social care sector, there is a need for highly qualified professionals who have a depth of understanding to better our current services.

On this course, you will become confident in critiquing current thinking and develop ideas to progress in this field. Through advanced scholarship and a focus on a practical skillset, you will graduate with the ability to plan, collect, analyse, and interpret advanced data, which will then be used to improve services in the health sector.

What’s more, you will engage in a variety of case studies that cover physical activity, disease, and behavioural change. This multi and interdisciplinary approach to learning will enhance your expertise in physiology, psychology, biomechanics, and sociology.

Not only will you grasp a thorough understanding of both theory and practice in exercise and health science, you will be able to showcase your advanced skillset during your dissertation, which will give you the opportunity to apply what you have learned throughout this course.

Advancing from undergraduate study, this course provides me with an enhanced level of knowledge required to establish the next step in my career.
