Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology
Accredited allied health degree preparing graduates for clinical exercise physiology roles in rehabilitation and chronic disease management.
Best for:Best for graduates with a background in exercise science or related health fields seeking to specialise in clinical exercise physiology and allied health careers.
Overview
The Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology at The University of Western Australia is a professional degree designed to equip students with advanced knowledge and practical skills in exercise as a therapeutic intervention. This accredited programme focuses on musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, metabolic, and complex chronic conditions, bridging the gap between exercise science and clinical practice. Students can opt for a coursework-only pathway or add a 24-point dissertation, which may qualify them for higher research degrees. The programme caters to both graduates with accredited exercise science backgrounds and those needing foundational coursework, offering flexible durations from three to four semesters.
What you'll do
- Develop advanced clinical skills in exercise prescription for musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and metabolic conditions.
- Apply evidence-based practices in the treatment of chronic and complex health conditions.
