Location of Bucks New University
This postgraduate course aims to provide specific training and education for sports graduates wishing to specialise in the growing field of health rehabilitation and exercise for chronic and non-acute conditions.
A key feature of the course will be to combine the theoretical and practical qualifications needed to work professionally in exercise rehabilitation. The course will be multi-disciplinary making links between medicine, kinestherapy, sport science and cultural responses to physical recreation and exercise.
Further opportunities
At our university we have expertise in cardiac health research, a current project with the Wycombe Hospital in diabetes research, and staff expertise in the delivery of exercise programmes as part of the GP referral schemes in our local community.
Our European partners also enable us to offer a unique pan-European flavour to the modules so that our graduates can offer not only an in depth knowledge of the systems in the UK but also a comparative study of health rehabilitation across Europe. This will encourage future employment mobility and transferability of skills and knowledge.

Mode of study: Distance learning Modules
Many UK health providers and Primary Care Trusts are now introducing the expertise of exercise rehabilitation specialists to work in obesity and exercise prescription programmes as well as in cardiac rehabilitation programmes. This course will combine theoretical and practical experiences from practitioners and academics across multi-disciplinary areas such as medicine, sport science and psychology.
This course offers a flexible approach to learning and aims to:
* facilitate independent and self directed learning and reflective practice in the field of exercise rehabilitation
* develop professional skills specific to the field of exercise rehabilitation
* identify and evaluate practical applications in the field of exercise rehabilitation
* develop research skills to support the continued development of exercise rehabilitation as a discipline
Importantly the course offers the opportunity to exchange ideas and explore the significance of values within other health and physical recreation professions in order to develop greater understanding and communication between associated disciplines and cultures.
The course will consist of the following modules:
* Fitness & physical exercise science
* Contemporary study of non acute health conditions
* Sociocultural aspects of the body, health & exercise
* Clinical exercise physiology
* Research methods & dissertation
In between workshops, learning and teaching is supported by a virtual learning environment (VLE). All learning and teaching materials are available online and communication with lecturers is facilitated by using emails and online conferencing software.
