The Master of Exercise Physiology offered by University of Sydney is an advanced Masters course designed for students aspiring to become professionals in Physiology. Students will gain hands-on experience through practical exercises and real-world projects, allowing them to apply the concepts learned in class. The curriculum is carefully designed to ensure that students develop a strong foundation in Physiology and acquire the skills needed to solve complex problems in the industry. Upon completion of this course, students will be well-prepared to tackle the challenges of Physiology and pursue rewarding career opportunities such as Exercise Physiologist, Research Scientist in Physiology, Cardiac Rehabilitation Specialist, Respiratory Therapist.

This is the main Masters level research program for postgraduate students in the Faculty of Medicine. Candidates must demonstrate ability to undertake research by the submission of a thesis embodying the results of an original investigation. The degree of Master of Science by research may be awarded by the Council on the recommendation of the Higher Degree Committee of the appropriate faculty (hereinafter referred to as the Committee) to a candidate who has demonstrated ability to undertake research by the submission of a thesis embodying the results of an original investigation.

This course is designed to provide a holistic understanding of the use of exercise as a modality in the treatment of musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, metabolic and other chronic and complex conditions. You'll develop knowledge and skills in preparation for work in the allied health industry. The course is accredited by ESSA so you will be eligible to apply for accreditation status. The course is designed to provide a holistic understanding of the use of exercise as a modality in the treatment of musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, metabolic and other chronic and complex conditions. Students who meet certain criteria (contact the Course Coordinator for details) can apply to complete a 24-point dissertation in addition to the coursework components. Examination of the dissertation will mimic the BSc Honours thesis examination, so that an Honours-equivalent grade can be created to allow graduates to be ranked for Higher Degree by research scholarships.

The Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology will allow you to upgrade your undergraduate exercise science qualifications so that you can work with individuals with disease and injury in the broader community. Clinical exercise physiology is an area of allied health that is specifically concerned with using exercise to restore good health and physical capability to people after illness or injury, or to improve the quality of life and manage physical function in people with chronic disease and physical disabilities. This degree includes advanced clinical training for work as an exercise physiologist. As part of the course you will undertake 360 hours of clinical workplace experience. Completion of these hours is required in order to graduate. This experience is an essential part of the learning process and will allow you to put into practice what you've learned in the course to ensure that you will be work-ready for industry practice in both public and private facilities with a clinical focus.

This course has been developed to provide graduates with the opportunity to expand their knowledge in the field of clinical exercise physiology across a range of target pathologies and population groups. Students are provided with advanced theoretical knowledge, contemporary clinical experience and research opportunities for the development of quality improvement programs for exercise rehabilitation in a clinical setting.
