This course is for you if you want to work in the world of sport and performance, exercise for health, or with more clinical populations. You are ideally suited if you have a curiosity and passion for physiology, as it applies to exercise.
If you are not yet sure of your direction, the course will give you an opportunity to deepen your understanding of both applied sport and applied exercise physiology.
Our Applied Exercise Physiology MSc is designed around four pillars:
practitioner focused
physiology skill-centred
science in practice
personal and professional development.
All your modules can have an exercise physiology focus and option modules will enable you to study an area of interest in greater depth.
Our teaching laboratories are accredited by the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES)

Careers
Career opportunities for applied exercise physiologists are growing.
Many graduates pursue employment in hospitals and primary care trusts where specialists with exercise backgrounds are needed to work within health and clinical settings. Each year we also have graduates who enter the Scientist Training Programme to become clinical scientists enabling them to specialise in cardiac, respiratory, sleep or even gastrointestinal physiology.
Some graduates work with sports governing bodies as applied physiologists, or directly with sports teams, while others have set up their own consultancy service, or worked in the public and private sector as physiologists. Some graduates focus on research positions in industry or with organisations such as the Ministry of Defence. This MSc is also ideal preparation for continuing your studies at PhD level.
An MSc in Applied Exercise Physiology from the University of Brighton will equip you with the theoretical knowledge, practical skills and emotional intelligence necessary for a successful career and help you to stand out in today’s competitive job market.
We'll support you as you start to think about life after graduation. You will have the opportunity to undergo a mock interview for a job that meets your career aspirations. We'll provide post-interview feedback so that when you are applying for jobs in the real world you will be well prepared
