Our new programme will develop your skills and expertise, and provide you with the fundamental knowledge, skills and competencies to safely and effectively work with patients after traumatic injury and provide innovative interventions for a range of health conditions including injuries sustained in high-pressure environments.

We will expand on your existing knowledge using evidence-based practice to repair and build a healthy body and mind.

You will develop your:

clinical judgement skills
rehabilitation techniques
understanding of pre-habilitation and rehabilitation of health conditions
understanding of innovative technology solutions for rehabilitation
research methods
intervention and assessment skills for a wide variety of health conditions
This programme offers a unique progression route for students from a variety of backgrounds within the field of exercise rehabilitation to study.

2.1 in a relevant degree The MSc programme in clinical exercise rehabilitation is designed to welcome individuals from diverse academic backgrounds who share a keen interest in the field and equip them with the knowledge, skills and competencies to safely and effectively work with patients after traumatic injury and provide innovative interventions for a range of health conditions including injuries sustained in high-pressure environments.
