MSc Exercise Physiology and its Application in Therapy
Course Overview
This Master's program provides an advanced study of exercise physiology, focusing on the scientific principles behind exercise testing and prescription for both health and chronic disease management. The course blends online learning with an intensive on-campus practical workshop and culminates in an original research project. Graduates will be equipped with the hands-on skills and theoretical knowledge for a career as an exercise specialist.
Key Program Highlights
- Blended learning format with online lectures and a required on-campus practical workshop
- Hands-on experience in conducting exercise tests and physiological assessments
- Comprehensive curriculum covering physiology, metabolism, kinesiology, and exercise prescription
- Dedicated research semester to complete a supervised thesis project
- Exit option with a Postgraduate Diploma after successful completion of first two semesters
