The aims of the course are:
• To use research-informed teaching to enable our students to develop knowledge in the core and associated constituents that underpin exercise, health and rehabilitation science, including: biomechanics, physiology, psychology, and research methods.
• To develop in our students the technical knowledge, practical techniques and essential people skills that are relevant to effective practice in exercise, health and rehabilitation science.
• To develop in our students an understanding of research such that they become confident in the interpretation and application of research findings in exercise, health and rehabilitation science.
• To engender a culture underpinned by critical thinking, self-reflection and research-based evidence such that our students develop into confident, independent practitioners in exercise, health and rehabilitation settings.
• To develop students who are able to apply effectively their knowledge and skills to interdisciplinary vocational contexts related to exercise, health and rehabilitation from a clinical, performance or occupational perspective.
• To develop in our students the attributes necessary for effective graduate-level employment in the field of exercise, health and rehabilitation, such that they have the ability to identify and utilise a range of transferable skills and knowledge with insight to promote their professional development.
