Exercise has evolved into a global industry, with exercise scientists, advanced practitioners and researchers playing an increasingly crucial role in promoting wellbeing, preventing disease and prolonging the lives of those with life-limiting disease. Long-term health conditions such as cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic, musculoskeletal and neurological diseases, as well as cancer, mental health, and frailty are becoming more prevalent worldwide. These diseases are further exacerbated by low levels of physical activity, a sedentary lifestyle and an ageing population. As a result, there are more employment opportunities in the health and exercise sector than ever before. Whether you are a sport scientist, health and fitness professional, have a background in medicine or physical activity related discipline, come and take your learning to the next level. Develop the most up-to-date knowledge and skills essential for working with individuals and communities to improve their health and wellbeing. On our degree, you will get the opportunity to become competent in screening participants, undertaking testing and prescribing exercise across a variety of different environments (gym, clinical, community, home-based and virtual environments) for specific long-term conditions and multi-morbidities. You will utilise critical thinking and scientific reasoning to design and tailor interventions for specific individuals or communities and employ the most appropriate behaviour change techniques to increase adherence. You will also get the opportunity to undertake an empirical piece of research in your specific area of interest. Through practice, you will also develop and enhance key employability skills such as problem solving, resourcefulness, adaptability, accountability, critical thinking, administration, confidentiality, communication, teamwork, project management skills, creativity, independence, utilising technology, research and evaluation. On your journey, you will also improve your confidence, build self-belief, resilience, and improve self-awareness. You will learn the best ways to demonstrate these to an employer, which will help springboard your career to the next level within the health and exercise sector.
