The Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology (MCEP) equips students with everything they need to become a recognised allied health professional and clinical Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) with Exercise and Sport Science Australia (ESSA). Delivered at the state-of-the-art UTS Moore Park Precinct, the Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology is an evidence-informed and practice-based course embedded within the School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation (Faculty of Health), which has a strong national reputation for teaching excellence, world-class facilities, and graduate employability across the exercise professions.In this course, students are provided with high-quality teaching and extensive work-integrated learning opportunities by experienced clinical educators who are established leaders in their field. Students are afforded with the clinical knowledge, tools, and applied experience to become highly regarded and well-rounded clinical exercise physiologists. Underpinned by a world-leading research program with strong links to industry, students are supported to develop and expand their professional networks. Students develop and test their clinical skills across diverse clinical conditions in a supportive and nurturing environment within our purpose-built UTS exercise medicine clinic. These clinical skills are then refined in real clinical settings with our clinical educator partners and affiliates within public and private healthcare and community settings, culminating in at least 360 hours of clinical placements.Students consolidate prior expertise and develop a deeper understanding of advanced principles and practices of clinical exercise medicine supported by health behaviour change theory to deliver and optimise person-centred care in a professional and interprofessional environment. Students also engage with research in the course curriculum to learn how to critically analyse, reflect, and synthesise scientific research to better support evidence-informed clinical reasoning.CareersCareer options include positions in ageing and aged care, fitness centres, population health, primary, secondary and tertiary health care, private and multidisciplinary clinics, public and private hospitals settings, sporting settings, and health and rehabilitation.
